Answer:
In BC, the tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine is available, but a specific brand is not guaranteed. There is not a specific brand of Tdap vaccine that is recommended one over the other. What is important is the protection against three vaccine-preventable diseases.
Vaccines are available at local health units, travel clinics, most pharmacies and some doctors offices. Contact providers in your area to ask about which vaccine brand(s) are available.
