Science Made Simple
How the Tdap Vaccine Works
The Tdap vaccine (Boostrix) uses inactivated components of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis bacteria. These components cannot cause disease but safely stimulate your immune system to build antibodies.
After vaccination, your body "remembers" how to fight these infections — giving you strong, lasting protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough.
