MAKE SURE TO BOOK YOUR SUMMER/SCHOOL PHYSICAL IN ADVANCE

When the snow has melted away and the birds start chirping we know that spring is approaching and summer is not too far away. Get ahead of your summer/fall activity planning and schedule your child's physical ahead of time. 

Make sure your child is up to date with vaccines. At the 11-year-old visit we recommend the 3 adolescent vaccines including Tdap, Meningitis, and HPV.

At the 16-year-old visit we give a booster for meningitis, and we initiate the Meningitis Type B vaccine series.
