We now have Menactra available. Menactra is a new vaccine injection that protects patients against meningitis. Menactra is being recommended for children ages 11-12, teens entering high school as well as for freshman entering college.
We also now have Adacel available. Adacel is an injectable booster dose of the Dtap vaccine and has now been developed and approved for the adolescent population. Adacel combines the Tetanus/Diptheria vaccine with a booster dose of Pertussis. This vaccine is being recommended for adolescents ages 11-18 who have not already receved their Tetnus booster.
Please ask your healthcare provider for more information about theses two very important vaccines.
