TBDHU recommends adults receive vaccine protection against pertussis (whooping cough) so they do not spread the infection to infants who will not be protected until they receive their infant vaccine series.
The FREE Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) is recommended for every pregnant person, regardless of whether they have had one before. Adults who are 19 years and older and are caring for young infants should also get the FREE vaccine if they have never received a Tdap dose as an adult and are eligible for a 10 year booster.
Heads up - We're making some changes!
TBDHU will be moving to a brand-new online prenatal class—exciting things are coming soon!
In the meantime, there is no access available while the new class is being set up, but hang tight and stay tuned.
Expectant parents are encouraged to visit OMama.com for trusted prenatal resources and information in Ontario. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
