7 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.
- Weight - light clothing on standing scale
- Height - standing
- Blood pressure: A cuff is placed around your child's arm that gives a squeeze.
- Screening for mental health: Questions about your child's overall well-being and mental health will be done for this visit.
Vaccines
Typically there are no vaccines needed at the 7 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.
