I jumped in late to this thread so I apologize if this has already been
answered but, is this booster recommendation relatively new? My ds had
his six year check up in November but they didn't say anything about a
booster. I think I'll call the office to see what they are doing.

It is relatively new. IIRC, it came out about the time
my boys came down with chicken pox, which was right before
Thanksgiving.

Best wishes,

It could be that Jenn's ds already had the booster when he was four or so.
Anyway, if your doctor's isn't doing the booster, download the
recommendation and bring it with you next time you go to the doctor's
office.

You might want to print a few relevant pages or find the pdf file of the
recommendations that show a nice a table, and bring that in.

Thanks. I think I'll call to find out. He definitely didn't have any shots
at his 6yr visit and I'm pretty sure he didn't get the booster at his four
year visit. I remember going over those carefully to see what he would get.
