Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have tourettes syndrome and have read with the TDAP vaccine that it says to talk to your doctor if you have a nervous system disorder. Should i be getting this vaccine? The hospital I work at wants me to get it. I m 35. I m sure I had one when I was younger. Also should I only get it if it s preservative free?
There is no contraindication to the Tdap vaccine with Tourrette's. Any form of the vaccine should be safe. I would not worry about getting the vaccine.
I hope I have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
