HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to suffer from-Reactive lymphadenitis above the collar bone after the tdap,as acellular Pertusis vaccine is known to cause lymphnode swellings after the shot.This is due to the immune reaction in the regional nodes or near by nodes in neck and axilla and is known to occur after tdap shots.
Welcome for any further query in this regard

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.

Good Day!!
