I am reading many medical papers stating that older adults who have had a Dtap series as children, and boosters as adults... don't need to continue boosters in advanced age. I am going to ask my doctor to request Dtap titres to confirm my immunity....before I have anymore Dtap boosters. I am 73.
Some immunological experts are saying tetanus and diphtheria at age 30 and 60 after childhood vaccination. Unfortunately, there its no separate pertussis shot available at this time ...just Dtap combo.
