A 15-year-old boy attends the renal clinic two years after a living-donor kidney transplant. He takes tacrolimus, mycophenolate and low-dose prednisolone daily, and his graft function has been stable. The Australian Immunisation Register records a single dose of human papillomavirus vaccine given with his class in Year 7, three years ago, and nothing since. He is well, has no acute illness and there is no contraindication to vaccination. His mother has been told by a friend that one dose is now all that is needed. Which one of the following describes the further human papillomavirus vaccination he requires?
