It’s that time of year again, School is Back in Session!

With School starting again for the 2017 – 2018 school year, it’s a good time to think about whether your child is current with their Well Child Checks (Healthy Child and Youth Exams), Immunizations and Sports Physicals.

Well Child Checks and Immunizations

Children should be seen once a year for their annual Healthy Child and Youth exam this includes:
- A comprehensive physical examination
- A comprehensive health and developmental history including assessment of both physical and mental health development
- Health Education
- Appropriate immunizations according to age
- Laboratory Tests (as needed)
- Lead Screening (appropriate to age and health history)
- Hearing Screening
- Vision Screening
Your child’s Pediatrician will review immunizations on each visit for the needs of your child.
Schools may require additional immunizations and boosters for attendance eligibility, please contact your child’s school for these requirements.
