(HealthDayNews) -- Adolescent children should have an annual medical check up, according to Harvard Medical Schools.
In addition to a routine physical exam, teenagers should have the following immunizations:
- A tetanus shot. Tetanus vaccinations are meant to be given every 10 years; odds are, teenagers will require one during this age range.
- A second dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine.
- The chickenpox vaccine, if they haven't already had the disease or vaccination.
- Three hepatitis B shots.
- A skin test to check for tuberculosis exposure.
