Back-to-School Health: Immunizations

The back-to-school rush has arrived! Start your children off on a healthy note for the new school year by making sure that immunizations and/or an annual physical exam are part of your checklist.

Immunizations help protect your kids from illness and missed school days. Plus, most schools and day cares require children to have specific vaccines in order to attend. An annual check-up can help assess your child’s physical condition and address any health issues he or she may be experiencing. These simple preventative measures can help ensure your school-age children have a happy, healthy year.
