A checkup is a visit to your doctor to make sure that your child is healthy. Good food, exercise, and plenty of rest help children grow. But children also need to see, their doctors regularly and get all their immunizations to stay healthy.

These diseases can make children very sick. Getting all their immunizations will protect your children for a lifetime. No, it is not. Children can get very sick and die from these diseases. Check the chart in the center of this brochure.
