Adolescent Immunization Action Week (AIAW) is April 6-10, 2026, to highlight the importance of vaccines for pr***ens and teens. Vaccines are a simple way to protect adolescents today and in their future. We want healthcare parents or guardians to make sure pr***ens and teens get the shots they need to stay healthy. Vaccinating on time is crucial. It protects over 8 million teens in California from getting sick and missing out on school, sports, and other activities they love. Learn more about the vaccines your pr***en or teen needs at go.cdph.ca.gov/teen-vaccine .

Which vaccines are recommended for kids and teens? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)- https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/immunizations/Pages/Recommended-Immunization-Schedules.aspx
• Tdap (age 11-12 years): Required before starting 7th grade. Whooping cough (pertussis) continues to cause outbreaks across California schools.
• HPV (age 9-12 years): Helps prevent cancers later in life.
• Meningococcal (MenACWY) (age 11-12 years and 16 years): Protects against meningitis, an infection that can lead to brain damage or even death.
