At what age is the Td or Tdap booster routinely given?

At birth

2-15 months

>= 11 years

The Td or Tdap booster is typically given at age 11 or older because immunity from childhood immunizations decreases over time. Infants are not given this booster since they receive their primary series of vaccinations in the first 15 months of life. While the booster can also be given to individuals aged 10-25 years, it is routinely recommended for those 11 years and older to ensure continued protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.
