The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers â Revised, with Follow-Up (M-CHATâR/F) â is a free, two-step screening tool used to detect children likely to have autism. It is intended for use at regular well-child checkups for children 16 to 30 months old. With the M-CHAT-R/F, health care providers can classify a childâs risk of having autism as low, medium or high, on the basis of parentsâ answers to 20 questions.
Children should get a booster vaccine called Tdap (which protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough) at 11 or 12 years of age. Adults need a booster called the Td vaccine (for tetanus and diphtheria) every 10 years. Adults should also receive a one-time shot of the Tdap vaccine in place of one Td shot. Tetanus is a serious disease caused by a toxin (poison) made by bacteria.
