Our Gyne told to take Boostrix injection in 7th month of pregnancy. Is there any generic version of Tdap vaccine or I have to take Boostrix only ? I remember first tetanus injection was way cheaper in cost. Thanks

Boosterix is a triple vaccine. Protects you and your baby from diseases. Thats why the cost is more.
