Tdap or TD immunization?
My school asked for Tdap but I was given TD instead about a week ago. Now will they accept it or I have to get Tdap? My age is 33.

Ask your doctor when you should get the Tdap. There is no absolute interval between a Td and Tdap if you are at high risk of exposure. If you are not at high risk of exposure, your doctor may advise you to wait. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices just came out with new guidelines on the subject.

If your doctor prefers you to wait, he or she can give you a MEDICAL exemption.

You really should not get the Tdap vaccine so soon after getting the Td vaccine. Just get an exemption to the school vaccine requirements. I'm sure your school offers exemptions for either religious or philosophical reasons. There is rarely any requirement of proof of belief.
