Are your children ready?
I don’t have kids, but this week’s chatter about childhood immunizations made me wonder what day Hamilton County schools start back this fall, and I was stunned to see it’s just three weeks away!
Several pediatricians I’ve spoken to recently told me they’re concerned that their patients are behind on needed wellness checks due to the pandemic. If it’s been awhile since your children have seen their doctor, now is the time to book that appointment. Also, both the Hamilton County Health Department and Erlanger have upcoming opportunities to get routine vaccinations and other back-to-school health needs addressed at the health department’s downtown location and the Dodson Avenue Community Health Center.
So, before going out and buying those last-minute school supplies, don’t forget to check that your child doesn’t have any outstanding health needs, too.
Stay healthy,
