Juwan Howard joins Vaccines for Teens Educational Campain
The NBA and WNBA, in collaboration with the Society for
Adolescent Medicine (SAM) and sanofi pasteur (the vaccines
division of the sanofi-aventis Group), have launched Vaccines
for Teens, a national multimedia campaign designed to educate
teens and their parents about the importance of vaccination
against serious, potentially life-threatening diseases.
Teens are at risk for meningococcal disease, influenza,
and whooping cough, which can spread from person to person
during everyday activities. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) and other leading medical groups recommend
vaccination for preteens and teens against all three of
these diseases.
