Keep your Preteens Healthy and in School. Immunize!
One of the best ways to keep your preteen healthy is with a visit to the doctor at 11-12 years of age. Preteens need to have their immunization records checked to see if they are missing important shots that will protect them from dangerous diseases like meningitis and pertussis (whooping cough). A shot called Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) is now required for all incoming 7th graders before starting the 2012-13 school year and all future school years. Immunity from some vaccines decreases over time, so preteens need booster doses to stay protected. Also, preteens are at greater risk of catching diseases like meningitis.
Preteen (11-12 years old) Vaccine Checklist:
qTdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis)- Required for incoming 7th graders
qMeningococcal
qFlu (every year)
qHuman Papillomavirus (HPV)
qAny catch-up vaccines (e.g. 2nd dose of MMR [measles, mumps, rubella] and chickenpox)
If you're a parent of a preteen, make it a goal to schedule a visit with your doctor now, and urge other parents to do so, too.
February 12-18, 2012 is Preteen Vaccine Week -- Protect them. Immunize
