Staying current on recommended vaccines is one of the easiest ways to safeguard your health and prevent the spread of illness. At University Hospitals Urgent Care, we make it simple to get the Td (tetanus, diphtheria) or Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccines, with no appointment or referral needed.
These vaccines are recommended for adults, teens, and anyone who may need a booster to stay protected against these preventable diseases.
UH Urgent Care offers safe, same-day access to immunizations at locations across Northeast Ohio, delivered by trusted providers who specialize in walk-in care.
While UH Urgent Care offers Td and Tdap vaccines, additional immunizations, such as flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, and travel-related vaccinations, may be available through the broader University Hospitals network.

Types of Vaccines Available at UH Urgent Care
Both the Td and Tdap vaccines are part of routine preventive care at UH Urgent Care and are available on a same-day basis with no referral needed. Whether you walk in or book ahead online, our licensed providers deliver safe, dependable immunizations as part of your urgent care visit.
Td Vaccine (Tetanus & Diphtheria)
The Td vaccine helps protect against tetanus and diphtheria, which are two serious bacterial infections that can lead to severe illness. It’s most often given as a booster every 10 years or after specific injuries like deep cuts or puncture wounds that increase the risk of tetanus.
Tdap Vaccine (Tetanus, Diphtheria & Pertussis)
The Tdap vaccine also protects against pertussis (whooping cough), which is a highly contagious respiratory infection that can be especially dangerous for infants and young children. It’s recommended for adolescents, adults, and pregnant women to help reduce the risk of spreading this illness to vulnerable populations.
By offering these important immunizations, UH Urgent Care helps you stay protected and up to date, whether you’re due for a booster or need a catch-up dose. Walk in today or book ahead online for your Td or Tdap vaccine at a UH Urgent Care location near you.
Td and Tdap Vaccines: When They’re Needed
Td and Tdap vaccines protect against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, which are bacterial infections that can affect the nervous system, throat, and lungs. Staying current with these vaccines not only reduces your risk of serious illness but also helps protect those around you, especially vulnerable groups like infants and older adults.
When to get a Td or Tdap vaccine:
- Routine Adult Boosters: Adults need a Td booster every 10 years to maintain protection. If you’re unsure when you had your last dose, getting vaccinated helps ensure your immunity is up to date.
- After an Injury: If you’ve experienced a deep cut, puncture wound, or scrape, you may need a tetanus shot to prevent infection.
- For Adolescents or Missed Doses: Teens and adults who haven’t received the Tdap vaccine should get one as soon as possible. It provides broader protection, including against whooping cough.
- During Pregnancy: The Tdap booster is recommended during pregnancy to help protect newborns from whooping cough during their most vulnerable early months.
