Well Child Care Exams
Routine well child care exams play an important role in keeping children healthy. Well child care exams provide an opportunity for your pediatrician to:
- Examine your child's growth and development
- Discuss age-specific health, behavior and safety issues
- Provide routine immunizations, vision screening, and lab work
- Address any questions you may have regarding their child's health and development
Childhood Immunizations
Dean Clinic Pediatric providers believe that childhood immunizations are critically important to a child's long-term health. We recommend childhood and adolescent immunization schedules that have been approved by the:
- American Academy of Pediatrics
- The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- The American Academy of Family Physicians
The immunization schedules listed on the right reflect current recommendations for use of vaccines licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
