I don't know why they are combining three shots in one except that it might be more cost effective to do so. The one that protects against Whooping cough is the Pertusis vaccine.
I think it's okay to get the Tetanus vaccine as long as you haven't had one for a certain period of time. I think she said one year, but ask your doctor to be sure.
