Back-to-school
checkups
T
he back-to-school season is a great time to
reconnect with your child’s doctor to make
sure your child arrives at school in good health.
A checkup lets your doctor review your child’s
growth and overall health. A checkup also helps
prevent future illnesses and ensures that your
child is up-to-date with his or her immunizations.
Some children are required to get certain
shots before school starts. For example, proof of
a whooping cough shot is now required to start
seventh grade.
Make sure to schedule appointments early, as
your doctor’s schedule could be very busy right
before school starts. Try to call at least a month or
more before your child goes back to school. It will
be much easier to get an appointment time that
fits into your busy schedule too.
