While anyone can catch whooping cough, it’s most common in infants and young children who haven’t received all five doses of the diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis(DTaP) vaccine. The CDC recommends children under 7 get the DTaP vaccine at these ages: ...
"This is a part of the routine vaccinations for children and this is about five vaccines between the ages of two months, kindergarten and, once again, around fifth or sixth grade," Sutton said of the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis) vaccination series. "For adults, we should ...
(either alone or combined with diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis components), which can be reduced by decreasing the dose of toxoid administered to adults.64Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported after repeated immunization with tetanus toxoid. These are thought to be caused by antigen-...
Another reason may trace back to the switch in the 1990s to a safer type of vaccine, known as "acellular" shots, whose protection lessens over time. "We believe one of the driving factors and one of the largest contributors is waning protection from acellular pertussis vaccines," Skoff said...

Abraham:An example is Tdap immunization: Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis. We usually require boosters, with Td component or Tdap, every 10 years to preserve immunity. Why do we need boosters for some vaccines but not for others?
