Hello!
No one dose is sufficient.Boostrix includes vaccines for protection against diptheria tetanus and whooping cough.if your gynaecologists suggests another dose of tetanus and not boostrix take care to take it atleast 2 weeks before delivery.

Medicines in pregnancy are conditional so take if needed for any complication or any imbalance or abnormal symptom after consulting your doctor.applicable for over the counter medications too.
