tdap- freaking out

So today at the doctor's office, they gave me a tdap  shot and I didn't realize what it was until after they gave it to me. It's supposed to last 7 years and I had the shot like 3 years ago. Now I'm worried it can hurt me or baby getting the shot when I already had it. Does anyone know?

They give it to you when your pregnant BC it will protect the baby for 6 months after birth I don't think it will harm you I'm pretty sure I got mine like 4 years apart or something

Even having it done three years ago, it's just a boost, I wouldn't worry

Tdap is totally safe for both you and baby, some doctors even recommend getting the shot if you are pregnant and can't remember when you had it last. I just looked this all up last week for another mama on here who stepped on a rusty nail. Not to worry hun, you are totally safe and baby is too.
