12 Year Well Visit

Routine well-child visits that focus on your child's growth, development and well-being are important for supporting their overall health. All children develop at different rates. Talk with your provider about questions and concerns you have in any of these areas. 

Your Visit May Include

  • Growth: Measurements that show where your child is compared with other kids.
    1. Weight - light clothing on standing scale
    2. Height - standing
  • Blood pressure: A cuff is placed around your child's arm that gives a squeeze.
  • Hearing: Your child will be asked to respond to sounds through headphones.
  • Vision eye screen: Your child will be asked to identify letters or shapes on a board across the room.
  • Screening for mental health: Questions about your child's overall well-being and mental health will be done for this visit.
  • Time with your provider: After talking with you and your child together, the provider may request one on one time with your child to answer any other questions.

Vaccines

These are the vaccines that may be given at your child's 12 year visit. This may differ based on circumstances specific to your child and the clinic where your child receives care. Your child may also be due for other seasonal vaccines such as influenza or COVID-19.
