John Smith, aged 5 months, has a slight cold with a runny nose when he comes for his regular well-baby checkup. His mother tells you that, because Jimmy is sick, she does not think he needs his immunization at this time. She says that she will bring him in next month for the shot. Looking over his records, you see that the family has no insurance at this time and has to pay out of pocket for all visits and vaccinations. Analyze the situation to determine the best response to Jimmy’s mother.
