The new vaccine, called Tdap, is different from the DTaP vaccine currently given to babies and young children. Tdap contains lesser quantities of diphtheria and pertussis proteins; for this reason, Tdap is much less likely than DTaP to cause side effects such as pain, redness and tenderness in adolescents.
