Immunizations
Are your child's immunizations up to date?
Regular well-child visits are very important because this is when your child will receive his/her immunizations (shots). These shots will help protect your child against different diseases. Your baby's doctor will also perform specific tests and screenings to make sure that your child is growing up strong and healthy.
Remember, even if your child isn't sick, he/she needs to see his/her doctor regularly. Well-child visits can help them stay healthy.
