Should I get Adacel during my second pregnancy if I was vaccinated in April 2022 during my first pregnancy?
Dear
in my first pregnancy I was vaccinated with Adacel in April 2022. Now I'm in the 30th week of my second pregnancy. Do I have to/can I get vaccinated again?

You can get vaccinated and it is recommended. Vaccination during pregnancy is primarily aimed at protecting the baby (you are currently protected thanks to vaccination in 2022) Therefore, the recommendations say about vaccination in every pregnancy regardless of the interval between them.

Vaccination against pertussis in pregnancy is recommended, especially in the third trimester, to pass antibodies to the infant and increase its immunity to this disease.
In Poland, it is recommended that pregnant women who have not been vaccinated against pertussis in the last 10 years should receive a vaccine containing diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis components between 27 and 36 weeks of pregnancy.
Since you were vaccinated with Adacel in your first pregnancy, it means that less than 10 years have passed, you do not need to be vaccinated again. However, to protect your baby, doctors may recommend vaccination during your second pregnancy. It is important to consult with your doctor, who will assess your situation and make a decision based on current recommendations and your current health condition.
