School and Sports Physicals

June 28, 2006 by Kenneth Carlson, MD

I know it feels like Summer is just getting started but the new school year is just around the corner. If you child needs shots prior to school entry or a physical for sports avoid the rush and call now for an appointment. Sports physicals are needed if your child is attending middle school or high school sport and there has been more than two years since last complete physical. Vaccinations needed for school are the “4-5 year shots”. Double check with your insurance regarding your benefits for check ups to verify it will be covered. Stay safe and have a fun summer.
