At what age is the first dose of Tdap recommended for adolescents and young adults?

At birth
At 2 months
At 12 months
>11 years old

The correct answer is: >11 years old

The first dose of Tdap, a vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, is recommended for adolescents and young adults at 11 years old or older. This is because the effectiveness of childhood vaccinations begins to decrease over time, leaving older individuals at risk for these diseases. Choices A, B, and C indicate much younger ages, which are not within the recommended window for the first dose of Tdap. It is important for adolescents and young adults to receive the Tdap vaccine to protect both themselves and those around them from these potentially serious illnesses.
