Well child/ Yearly check-ups are recommended for children’s wellbeing. Making check-ups a priority allows children to maintain their health and get the vaccines they need to prevent diseases such as measles and whooping cough.
Well child check-ups are important for many reasons including:
- Children being able to receive age-based recommendations
- Children receiving immunizations to reduce the risk of severe disease or illness
- Parents being able to discuss their concerns or sudden changes they have noticed related to their child’s health
- Meeting with a doctor to determine if a child is meeting growth and age-specific milestones
