Tdap/Boostrix vaccine
Our Gyne told to take Boostrix injection in 7th month of pregnancy.
Is there any generic version of Tdap vaccine or I have to take Boostrix only ?
I remember first tetanus injection was way cheaper in cost.
Thanks

Boosterix is a triple vaccine. Protects you and your baby from diseases. Thats why the cost is more.
