Do give it now without delay please . 10 ye old is big enough to go with well fitting mask so no risk at all . The risk from Dilhtheria & Tetanus is far more serious please

Hello. It’s important to take the booster dose.
Last year there was rampant spread of diphtheria in the community and a lot of Tdap immunisations were being giving. If that was given for your son, then it’s covered.
If not, fix up an appointment with a Pediatrician and get it done. It is not an emergency but definitely is better to be given.
