The student should identify irregular findings on the pediatric exam and utilizing the recommended vaccine schedule issued by the CDC, develop an appropriate teaching plan for the correct vaccines  that should be issued at the well visit. A short discussion of the diseases the vaccines protect against is to be included. Finally, identify any patient information that should be discussed regarding the recommended and issued vaccines at that visit. Be thorough and concise.

The case study is provided for you, you are not to create your own. See below
