I’m curious about the reason behind differences between recommendations around the TDaP vaccine between the US and Canada. (Other countries as well obviously, I’m just speaking about US/Canada as a direct comparison)
I’m in Canada and was given a booster at around 28 weeks as per guidelines. Today we asked if my husband should also get a booster, as he hasn’t had one since he was a child, and were told that it isn’t standard procedure, and if he wants a booster then it would have to be paid for out of pocket. They only have recommendations in place for the mother to get a booster so antibodies are passed to the baby.
It seems like guidelines are vastly different in the US where they recommend anyone spending time with baby should get a booster if they haven’t in the past few years.
The recommendations are vastly different, could you please enlighten me as to why this is?
