Vaccines are not just for infants. As kids get older, protection provided by
some childhood vaccines can begin to wear off. Kids can also develop risks for
more diseases as they enter their pre-teen years. Help your child transition

meningococcal vaccines; 11- and 12-year-old girls should also get the human
