You will receive a form from your school that you should bring to the appointment. Your pediatrician will fill out the needed information regarding the physical exam and any health concerns regarding your child as well as attach your child’s immunization record.
It is a good idea to talk with your soon-to-be kindergartener before the exam so he knows what to expect.
Beyond kindergarten, your pediatrician will want to see your child at least every other year until adolescence and yearly during adolescence. Your pediatrician will discuss any immunizations needed prior to seventh grade and upon graduation from high school. |
