Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm due for a health check-up and I was wondering what vaccinations I need.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Generally, adults need a flu shot every year and a tetanus shot every 10 years. You may also need other vaccinations depending on your age, health, and travel plans.<|im_end|>

That's helpful, thank you. What else should I expect during my health check-up?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
During a typical health check-up, your doctor will check your blood pressure, weight, and temperature, and may also do a blood test to check your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. They will also ask you questions about your health and lifestyle.<|im_end|>

Okay, that sounds straightforward. Is there anything I should do to prepare for my check-up?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, it's a good idea to write down any questions or concerns you have, and to bring a list of any medications you're taking. It's also a good idea to be honest with your doctor about your lifestyle and any health issues you're experiencing.<|im_end|>
