Jason is a 16-year-old junior in high school who is active in sports and his community where he lives with his parents and 13-year-old sister. Jason plays on the tennis team, runs track, and volunteers at an after-school program tutoring underprivileged kids. He comes to your office today, accompanied by his mother, for a well visit. Jason's mother has been diligent about keeping her son current with immunizations throughout his life. Jason's most recent vaccinations were at age 12, when he completed the human papilloma virus (HPV) series and received the tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) booster vaccine, and the meningococcal conjugate (MenACWY) vaccine. Jason is a healthy-appearing adolescent male. He reports no illnesses in the past year, except for a case of the flu last winter that kept him out of school for 5 days. He says he wants a flu shot at this visit because he doesn't want to risk catching the flu again.
