Adolescent Immunization: The Access and Anchor for Health Services?

Caroline Breese Hall MD1

Concern is escalating for the medical and social health of our adolescents under the current discouraging avalanche of statistics. The need for comprehensive health care visits for teens and pre-teens has been highlighted as a national health objective for the year 2000,1 and emphasized by the recent goals and guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics2-4 and the American Medical Association.5 The frequency of pregnancies in early adolescence and the steep rise of sexually transmitted diseases, hepatitis B infections, drug abuse, and smoking in teens have been documented.6 Adolescence, if not the age of reason, is the age of risk.
