You can’t protect your preteen from everything, but you can protect them from some very serious diseases. 
Vaccine shots are not just for kids. All 11-12 year olds need protection against diseases like whooping cough, flu, chicken pox, and meningococcal meningitis. Your child is exposed to infectious diseases every day. Protecting them is something you can do now.
Preteen Vaccine Week is February 10 to 16. Learn more about the important shots preteens need and find resources from the San Mateo County Health System.
