It's that time of the year..again!  Back to School and it's a great time to check to see if your child's immunizations and their health needs are up to date to help their school year a great one!
Community Medical Center is helping parents with this Back to School CHECK LIST:

Have your child’s vision screened. A visit to the eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam is an important part of overall health. If your child is having a problem seeing the blackboard, it can affect their academic success. Also check with your child’s ophthalmologist for the proper glasses to wear when playing contact sports.
Immunizations up-to-date? Be sure to schedule an annual checkup and review any missed or new immunizations. If you have recently moved from another state, check with your pediatrician to make sure your child meets the state’s immunization regulations.
Does your child receive medication on a regular basis for a chronic problem? Any health problems should be made known to the school. School nurses and teachers should be informed, especially if they are the ones to administer the medicine. Speak with them before school begins and work out an emergency action plan.
Have your child’s hearing tested. If your child is listening to the television or music at a loud volume, or tends to favor one ear over the other when listening, it may be a sign of hearing loss.
Update emergency contacts. Make sure your child's emergency contacts on file with their school are accurate and current. If you move or change a number, correct it the next day. The child's physician and dentist need to be listed.
With a little effort before school starts, children will sail back to school healthier, happier, and ready to learn.
