Upcoming Vaccines:

7. Why School Based Immunization?
Protection produced by some of these vaccines will decline over time
Booster doses may be needed to ensure that high levels of protection are maintained
New vaccines such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine are more effective if delivered at a specific age.
