Child Well Visit

It is important to keep your child’s health and growth on track. Children need a well-child visit, even when they are not sick. These visits can help uncover possible problems before they become serious.

Well-care visits are a chance to focus on your child’s wellness and growth.

What to Expect at a Well-Care Visit:

Your child’s doctor will:

  • Talk about ways to keep your child healthy.
  • Measure your child’s growth and development.
  • Give you information on screenings. These include vision and hearing.
  • Tell you about childhood illnesses and immunizations.
    • Flu vaccine - Two doses in the first season for children under 9 years old. Yearly for everyone after.
    • Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools we have to keep children healthy. Many preventable diseases can be serious, leading to hospitalization or even death. Staying up to date on immunizations helps protect your child and others around them from these risks, giving them a safer, healthier start in life.
    • Immunizations to be completed by 2nd birthday:
      diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP), polio, measles/mumps/rubella, HiB, hepatitis B, chicken pox, pneumococcal conjugate, hepatitis A, rotavirus and flu.
  • Screen your child for lead in their blood. The doctor will:
    • Ask questions about your child’s potential lead exposure.
    • Conduct a blood lead test before 12 months and 24 months of age.

Your child should see a dentist for the first time by age 1, then every 6 months after that.
