Healthy Back to School: Checkups and Vaccinations for Students
As school begins in August, it's time to ensure your children meet the health requirements set by Florida schools and health departments.
School Medical Requirements: - School Physical Exam Form (Form DH 3040) - Immunization Record (Form DH 680)
Why is the Back-to-School Checkup Essential? 1. **Early Detection**: Identifies vision, hearing, or posture issues before they impact academic performance. 2. **Vaccine Updates**: Protects your child and the school community from contagious diseases like measles, rubella, tetanus, and pertussis. 3. **Sports Physicals**: For students participating in school sports, a comprehensive sports physical is required.
