Keeping Your Child Healthy
Regular check-ups and immunizations (shots) are a key part of preventive care because they help prevent your child from getting sick in the first place. The Caring Foundation wants your child to grow up healthy. One of the ways we help your child to do this is to provide health care coverage, not just when your child is sick, but also when your child is well.
Routine Check-Ups
Preventive care includes a schedule of routine visits to the doctor’s office for periodic check-ups and immunizations. The following is a recommended schedule to maintain your child’s health and well-being. Your doctor may actually recommend alternatives to this program based on your child’s specific needs and history of health or illness in your family.
Use the schedule, or care plan, below to plan your child’s
care with his or her doctor. Be sure to talk with your child’s
physician about ways to keep your child healthy and to avoid
illness. Also discuss individual risk factors and scheduling
frequency with your child’s health care provider.
