For Native American audiences:
The Native American Pre-teen Vaccine Campaign includes posters, flyers, and web buttons that educate parents and providers about recommended pre-teen vaccines and the 11 and 12 year old medical check-up. Materials were created with community input and after audience research in the Pacific Northwest and Southwest. Several pieces include audience-tested, culturally-specific messages and graphics. Use the above links to review and download materials.
Campaign Goals
- Motivate caregivers of 11 and 12 year olds to have their pre-teens immunized with Tdap, Flu, MCV4 and HPV (for girls).
- Motivate caregivers to get their pre-teens caught up on missed childhood vaccines.
- Increase awareness in Native American parents of immunization recommendations and benefits (and thereby increase immunization rates and prevent disparities).
