Vaccines are among the most successful and cost effective ways for preventing disease and death. Vaccines are not just for infants. Teens need vaccines too.
Immunizations can help:
• Keep teens healthy.
• Prevent problems as they grow older.
• Prevent the spread of disease.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends vaccinations for individuals 11-18 years of age to protect from the following:
• Hepatitis B – This disease can lead to liver cancer, liver failure, and death.
•Meningitis (meningococcus) – This bacterial infection poses a serious threat to teens. Meningitis can kill a healthy person in 48 hours or less. Many survivors of meningitis have problems that last the rest of their lives.
•Whooping cough (pertussis) – This disease is spread by coughing and sneezing. Anyone can catch pertussis and spread it to others.
•HPV (Human papillomavirus) – HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer in women.
•Chicken Pox – This disease causes fever and rash. In rare cases it can cause serious health problems.
Vaccinations are available for each of the diseases listed above. Call the Medina County Health Department, Public Health Nursing Division, today to schedule your teen for the following vaccinations: Hepatitis B; Meningitis; Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap); Human Papillomavirus (HPV); and Chicken Pox. Contact the Public Health Nursing Division at 330-723-9688 or toll-free at 1-888-723-9688 for an appointment or for more information.
The Medina County Health Department has protected the health of Medina County citizens since 1918. For more information about our services, log onto www.medinahealth.org. Services are partially funded by your local property tax health levy.
