Well-child visits
Keep your kids healthy
Make sure they have regular check-ups and vaccines.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children have a well-child visit on the following schedule:
| Newborn, 2-5 days | 6 months | 18 months |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | 9 months | 24 months |
| 2 months | 12 months | 30 months |
| 4 months | 15 months | Annually between 3 and 18 years old |
Talk to your child’s doctor or nurse about the vaccines recommended for their age. COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for some adolescents.
Protect your kids from the flu
Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu shot every year. An annual flu shot protects against seasonal strains of the influenza virus.
It’s separate from the Coronavirus vaccine. Talk to your kids’ doctor about getting you and your kids the flu shot.
