Tdap vaccine causes microcephaly?

Question

I just read an article about Tdap being the cause of microcephaly not zika. I just got my vaccine last week and now im worried 😳

Answer

If that were the case there would be way more in the US and way less where Zika is prominent. Don't believe everything you read. You're fine.

Answer

Always check your sources and do it own research before you start stressing out. Whatever you just read sounds like unresearched antivaxxer rhetoric.

Answer

Um, I don't think that source was reliable.  Most pregnant people get the shot and nothing has ever happened.  I had the shot 3 years ago and I'm healthy.

Answer

Check your sources!! I know plenty of women who received the TDap while pregnant and all their children are fine. I also work with a bunch of nurses who have had the same results.

Answer

Tdap is perfectly safe and highly recommended in pregnancy.  You will be fine!

Answer

People share articles and "new study!!!!" Posts so recklessly. They are often unproven. They are often first findings, that if someone with science experience (as in, not daily mail, or other crap sites) read would clearly see is a "possible" correlation that requires further testing and studies. This is someone just trying to scare people and work up anti vaccine sympathy. Don't worry for one minute mama, you and baby are going to be perfectly fine :)
