-HEPATITIS A
-HEPATITIS B
-HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV)
-MEASLES, MUMPS, and RUBELLA (MMR)
-TETANUS, DIPHTHERIA, and PERTUSSIS (TDAP)

Most of these vaccines are offered to pre-teens (11-12 yr olds) during their visit to their doctor or heath department. If you are an older teen and missed getting these vaccines ask your healthcare provider to help you catch up!
