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

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.
