The Tetanus Toxoid (TT) vaccine is given during your pregnancy to prevent tetanus to you as well as your baby. Antibodies formed in your body, after the vaccination, are passed on to your baby and protect her for a few months after birth. It also helps prevent premature delivery. .. In many countries such as the US, the Td or tetanus-diphtheria vaccine is recommended for pregnant women.
