At 17, he should have had or should get the Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B series, a Meningitis vaccination, a recent Tdap (tetanus/diptheria/pertussis) booster shot, and have had a second MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) vaccination. It might also be a good idea to have him get the flu shot.

He has had the Hepa A and Hepa B in 2005, Tdap in 2005, Meningitis in 2005, Td in 2005.The last time he had a MMR vaccination was in 1998..He was 13 years old...Now he is 17 and I just took him to the doctor and according to them he is up to date....Also, he never had the flu shot, I personnaly don't feel any need for it...that is only my opinion....

Your input in this matter is greatly appreciated..

Thank you
