The DTaP vaccination protects pregnant women and their babies against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis). Pregnant women can get vaccinated from the 22nd week of the pregnancy up until delivery. That is why it is known as the 22-week vaccination. Although it is also called the maternal whooping cough vaccination, it is a combined vaccination against three diseases (DTaP).
