Abstract

Maternal tetanus-diphtheria-and-acellular-pertussis (Tdap) vaccination is offered to all pregnant women during their second trimester in the Netherlands since December 2019. We assessed second trimester Tdap vaccination reactogenicity and compared with third trimester data from a similar study. For safety assessment, adverse pregnancy outcomes were compared with national data from 2018, before Tdap vaccine-introduction.
