PolioIf you haven’t completed your series of polio vaccine doses, you should complete them now.
Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
(Tdap, Td)		You need a booster dose of Tdap at age 11 to 12 years. If you’re older and already had a Td booster, you should get a Tdap shot to get the extra protection against pertussis (whooping cough). After that, you will need a Td booster dose every ten years.
Varicella (Var)
(Chickenpox Shot)		If you have not been previously vaccinated and have not had chickenpox, you should get vaccinated against this disease. The vaccine is given as a two-dose series. Any teenager who was vaccinated as a child with only one dose should get a second dose now.
