Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children be seen by their doctor at least once a year? As children grow, it is important for their doctor to monitor their overall health. This helps detect health concerns before they worsen or your child requires a trip to the emergency department. Regular check-ups are also a good way for children and parents to build relationships with their doctor.

The new school year will be here before we know it, and many kids will need a physical exam before they can go back to school or participate in sports.  A physical exam fulfills the same need as an annual check-up. Depending on your child’s age and medical history, these appointments can include a physical exam, eye exam, hearing exam and lab tests. This is also a perfect time to make sure your child is up-to-date with all recommended immunizations.

New Orange County Public Schools Students must have the following health-related forms to enroll for the 2017-18 school year:

Verification of Immunization and Physical Exam

• Proof of immunizations on a Form 680, which can be obtained at the Orange County Health Department: 832 W. Central Blvd., Orlando, FL.  The phone number is 407-836-2600. These forms must be completed by a Florida physician or a Florida county health department.
• Proof of physical examination by a U.S. doctor within the last year. If documentation cannot be provided, a physical examination must be obtained within 30 days of enrollment.
