Well-child visits and vaccines are important to keep your child healthy. Regular check-ups with your child’s doctor can help find health problems early. Vaccines protect your child from serious illnesses and disease. Let’s learn more about why these visits are so important and how you can keep up with them.
What Are Well-Child Visits and why are they important?
Well-child visits are regular check-ups with your child’s doctor. The doctor checks your child’s growth and development and give any needed vaccines (shots). You should use these visits to ask the doctor any questions you have about your child’s health.
What Are Immunizations and why are they important?
Immunizations, or vaccines, are shots that protect your child from diseases. Vaccines can keep your child from getting sick with things like the measles, polio, and whooping cough. Vaccines help keep other people healthy by stopping the spread of disease and illness.
How to Catch Up on Missed Shots:
If your child has missed any shots, it’s important to catch up. You can schedule a visit with your child’s doctor to ask which shots your child needs. The doctor will give you advice to help your child get caught up.
