Tdap is recommended during each pregnancy to help protect the newborn from pertussis by transferring antibodies from mother to baby. If a dose isn’t given during pregnancy, it should be administered postpartum before discharge to still provide protection for the mother and future pregnancies. The other options contradict guidelines: vaccination isn’t restricted to after a year, isn’t contingent on injury, and isn’t never given during pregnancy.
