Vaccination for teenagers
Many Teens think that they are done getting immunized
against diseases like measles and tetanus. They think shots are just for little kids.
But guess what? These are millions of people between the ages of 11 and 19 who need
tetanus-diphtheria shots, hepatitis B shots, hepatitis A shots, chickenpox shots,
measles-mumps-rubella shots, “flu” and/or pneumococcal shots. Are you one of them?
Getting immunized is a lifelong, life-protecting job.
Make sure you and your doctor or nurse keep it up! Don’t leave your clinic without
making sure you’ve had all the shots you need.Some of the shots needed are listed below:
- Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine
- Hepatitis B vaccines
- Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine
- Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccine
