What is Well Child Care?
Well child care is the overall care of a child from birth, through pre-adolescence, to adulthood, consisting of routine immunizations and well child exams.

Roosevelt Medical Center Clinic can provide these services, regardless of where your child was born.

How often should you immunize your child or take them to see a doctor?
Immunizations begin at birth in the hospital with a hepatitis B vaccine. Children can then come to RMC for the following well child checkups and immunizations:

1-2 weeks- well baby exam

1 month- well baby exam

2,4 and 6 months immunizations and well child exam

9 months- well child exam

12 months- immunizations and well child exam

15 months- immunizations and well child exam

2 years - well child exam and immunizations in certain high risk groups and select populations

3-4 years- well child exam

4-6 years - preschool immunizations

6,8 and 10 years- well child exam

11, 12 years - upon entering middle school, immunizations

12 years to 18 years Old

Every year thereafter, through physicals for school or sports, or through annual office exams, children and young adults should receive an examination to ensure continued good health. We can also help you through the complexities of puberty; suggesting when to start pap smears and breast exams, something every young woman should know and do.

High school seniors should get their college physicals and immunizations as recommended by the facility they wish to attend prior to leaving the region.
