Don’t let Back-to-School sneak up on you; get a physical this summer and beat the rush! The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends an annual physical for children through the age of six and then every other year, resuming an annual exam during the middle school and teen years.
RediClinic Back-to-School Physicals include an examination of the following:
Height & weight
Blood pressure

Vaccinations
Vaccines are the most effective protection against many diseases that threaten the health and well-being of children.
To optimize protection, remember to get booster shots and take advantage of newer immunizations such as the Hepatitis B series, and the chicken pox vaccine.
