Pneumococcal vaccine: Prevent illness due to your chronic condition which fortunately seems to be stable by staying at home, working from home, washing your hands and avoiding contact with those who are ill. Another PCV vaccine is indicated, but please discuss with your PCP.
If you develop symptoms, please notify your PCP and schedule an influenza and Coronavirus screening test.

My 9 year old son was nipped by our dog on his finger. There is a little bit of blood. Does he need a tetanus injection if his vaccinations are up to date? Are there any signs to look out for to take him to a doctor?

Dog bite: No tetanus booster is needed if up to date. Look for increasing pain and especially redness which may indicate an infection.
