Pre-teens Need Vaccines Too!
Vaccines are not just for infants. As kids get older, protection provided by
some childhood vaccines can begin to wear off. Kids can also develop risks for
more diseases as they enter their pre-teen years. Help your child transition
into adolescence in a healthy way by staying up-to-date on pre-teen
vaccines.
Doctors recommend that all 11 and 12 year olds get the Tdap and
meningococcal vaccines; 11- and 12-year-old girls should also get the human
papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
