Did your child miss a check-up during COVID-19? No problem. Whether it’s in person, over the phone, or on a video call, your doctor’s or dentist’s office can help you set one up.
Annual visits can help your child’s doctors, nurses, and dentist get to know them better. These appointments are also a great time to catch up on vaccines and ask any questions you may have about your child’s health.
Keeping your child healthy and strong is more important than ever.
The best way to ensure your child has a safe return to school is to stay up to date on well-child visits, dentist visits, and immunizations and to talk to your doctor about COVID-19 prevention.
Here are some resources you can use to keep you and your family safe this fall.
