Press Release: Meningitis Angels Supports CDC on Preteen Immunization Campaign
It is back to school and the time for vaccine preventable diseases to rear their ugly little heads. Almost all of those diseases are vaccine preventable. It is important that preteens see their health care providers and received those important immunizations. There are newly recommended immunizations and boosters for this age group."
Meningitis Angels along with many other health organizations were invited to partner with the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases as they launched a Preteen Vaccine Campaign aimed at promoting vaccination of preteens (11-12 year olds) to protect against serious, sometimes life-threatening diseases such as pertussis (whooping cough), meningitis, tetanus, diphtheria, and cervical cancer.
