Well Child Exam Schedule
These are typical visits. Our clinicians may need to vary what is done according to the patient’s status (health issues) at the actual time of his/her visit. Our clinicians may determine it is in the best interest of the patient to vary the immunization schedule due to individual needs, vaccine supply, and seasonal changes.
Your child’s birth month is a perfect time to schedule his or her well child exam. Starting at two years of age, your child will always be up to date on immunizations and exams. And it’s easy to remember.
Any forms required for school, camp or sports throughout the year can be completed by a clinician based on this annual exam. No need to rush to schedule a checkup at the last minute. It’s also easier to schedule at the time you prefer and with the clinician who knows your child best.
For an older child, you are welcome to change to a birth month schedule also allowing at least one full year between well child exams. When these checkups are spread through the year, our clinic sites can provide optimal service and attention to each child at times that are convenient for families.
We look forward to wishing your child a happy, healthy birthday this year and all the years to come!
