The difference is in their formulation. The DTaP vaccine is for children under age 7, while Tdap is for older children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tetanus, also called lockjaw, is caused by a bacteria that triggers muscle contractions. The infection often causes the neck and jaw muscles to lock, causing difficulty swallowing and opening the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diphtheria is another bacterial infection that can lead to difficulty breathing and upset the heart rhythm, and can be deadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pertussis may begin like a common cold, but unlike a cold, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nortonchildrens.com\/news\/6-types-kids-coughs-explained\">coughing<\/a> can last for weeks or months. Symptoms usually develop within five to 10 days of contact with the bacteria. After a week or two of symptoms, infected people may develop uncontrolled coughing fits that cause them to make a \u201cwhoop\u201d sound once they\u2019re finally able to get a breath. The severe cough can lead to vomiting and exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"card card-callout float-xl-end ms-xl-3  w-xl-35 \">\n\t<div class=\"card-body\">\n\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the care you need now to stay protected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tdap vaccine for whooping cough and other diseases is available from your primary care provider. You also can visit your nearest Norton Prompt Care clinic to determine if you are up to date on your vaccination schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nortonhealthcare.com\/patient-resources\/norton-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"btn btn-primary\">Choose your care option<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While babies often don\u2019t cough with a whooping cough infection and often appear to have a common cold, pertussis can cause them to struggle to breathe \u2014&nbsp;and they can turn blue because of the lack of oxygen. This loss of oxygen is what can lead to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teens and adults tend to have a milder pertussis infection, especially if they\u2019ve had the Tdap vaccination. Those with a milder infection often don\u2019t have the characteristic \u201cwhoop\u201d at the end of a coughing fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teens and adults can have severe whooping cough cases, especially those who haven\u2019t been vaccinated. The severe cough can keep them up at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whooping cough vaccine is effective, but doesn\u2019t always prevent illness entirely. Those who are vaccinated, but still get sick usually aren\u2019t as ill as those who aren\u2019t vaccinated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who have the pertussis vaccination but still get whooping cough usually don\u2019t have the cough as long, and coughing fits are less common. Difficulty breathing and experiencing cyanosis (turning bluish because of low blood oxygen) are less common in children who\u2019ve had the whooping cough vaccine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grandparents, other family members and caregivers need to make sure they\u2019re up to date on the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine at least two weeks before meeting a newborn to protect&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":321309,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[525,598,527,743],"tags":[735],"class_list":["post-321307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-infectious-disease-services","category-norton-now","category-nhc-prevention-and-wellness","category-prompt-care-walgreens","tag-norton-now"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.9 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
