Immunizations for Pre-Teens

Immunizations for Pre-Teens

We recommend:

  • Tdap booster.
    This protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough).
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
    This vaccine prevents some pre-cancers and cancers related to HPV. Most children should get two doses before they turn 13 years old.
  • Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate (MCV4) vaccine.
    The meningococcal vaccine protects against infection in the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It also protects against infections in your child’s bloodstream.
  • Annual influenza vaccine, also called the flu shot.
    The flu shot helps the body build immunity against the seasonal influenza virus, reducing the chance of getting sick.

You can look up your record or your child’s record on the Wisconsin Immunization Registry.
