St. Louis County COVID-19 Update
Adolescent Immunization Action Week
The St. Louis County Department of Public Health will observe Adolescent Immunization Action Week from April 4-8. This is the first year that Adolescent Immunization Action Week is being observed nationally.
Adolescent Immunization Action Week is meant to be a call to action urging parents and healthcare providers to get adolescents up to date on recommended immunizations. Many things got put on hold due to the pandemic, including adolescent wellness visits and immunizations. It is important to protect adolescents from vaccine-preventable diseases including meningitis, tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough and HPV-related cancers. In addition, COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for adolescents and young adults. Parents should consult their child’s healthcare provider to learn more about the vaccines their adolescent may need. DPH offers pediatric services and immunizations at our three health centers; for more information, call 314-615-0600. For more information about getting a COVID-19 vaccine, visit ReviveSTL.com.
Adolescent Immunization Action Week is organized by UNITY, a non-profit organization that unites diverse groups around the imperative to protect against all vaccine-preventable diseases to support lifelong health. Find out more information about UNITY here.
