Teen Well Visits

 

At Meridian we want your child to have the healthiest future possible. That starts with an annual visit with their doctor. During the visit their doctor will:

  • Give them a physical exam. This includes height, weight, vision, hearing, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure
  • Assess and educate your child about proper nutrition and physical activity
  • Make sure that they are current on their shots. They will also give booster shots for tetanus and polio, if needed. All Preteens/teenagers should also have vaccinations for human papillomavirus (HPV) starting at age nine and meningitis starting at age 11.
  • Have a discussion with your child about growth and sexuality. The doctor’s office is a safe place to discuss their whole health. This includes physical, emotional, and sexual health.

Schedule an annual visit with your doctor today! Your teen may be eligible for member rewards for a well visit.
