Conventionally two doses of tetanus is given at 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy respectively, but as far as current recommendation of Center for disease control goes one dose of Tdap vaccine is good enough if mother is immunized against tetanus in her childhood. Tdap usually given at about 30-32 weeks of pregnancy. Please discuss with your gynecologist in detail about both.
