Back to Fall 2025Well-child visits: Not just for babies!
As our kids grow, their skills and interests do too! Partner with your child's doctor to keep them on track and at their best with a yearly well-child visit.
These well-child visits:
- Ensure children are growing up healthy.
- Help catch potential health problems.
- Offer vaccines to guard against disease.
- Stack up Kern Family member rewards! Get a $25 gift card each year from age 3 through 21.
Kids and teens need several key vaccines to protect them. They help our children's bodies prepare to fight disease before they are potentially exposed. These vaccines help prevent major health problems like brain damage, blindness and cancer.
Doctors recommend these vaccines at specific ages. Why? There are two main reasons:
- It’s the age when the vaccine works the best with your child or teen’s immune system.
- It’s the time when your child or teen needs protection the most.
