Summer vacation will be here before we know it! In preparation for summer camp and upcoming travel plans, check with your child's physician to assure they are up-to-date with their imunizations. Although not a requirement, it is recommended that children age 11-12 receive a dose of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis), 3 doses of HPV (Human papillomavirus), and one dose of Meningococcal vaccine.
