Teenage Health
As your teens navigate life, they become more independent, adventurous, and spend more time away from home. Help protect them from vaccine-preventable diseases that can affect their health, education, and future success.
Recommended Vaccines for Teenagers
Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine
* Protects against Japanese encephalitis, a serious viral brain infection transmitted by mosquitoes.
* Can cause seizures, permanent neurological damage, and even death.
Meningococcal Vaccine
* Protects against meningococcal disease, including meningococcemia and meningitis.
* These infections can progress rapidly and may be life-threatening.
Influenza (Flu) Vaccine
* Protects against seasonal influenza and helps reduce the risk of complications such as pneumonia, hospitalization, and missed school days.
Varicella (Chickenpox) Vaccine
* Protects against chickenpox, which can lead to prolonged absences from school and, in some cases, serious complications.
Pneumococcal Vaccine
* Protects against infections caused by pneumococcal bacteria, including pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, and meningitis.
Keep your teen healthy, protected, and ready to achieve their goals.
