The patient is due for her 6-month vaccines, which include doses of the diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis and pneumococcal vaccines. The pediatrician explains the dosing schedule to the parents, but they state that they do not want their child to receive these vaccines because last time she developed upper respiratory symptoms a day after receiving her vaccines, so they are worried that the vaccines are making their child sick.
