Growing healthy means staying protected. Vaccines help protect children from serious diseases and keep schools and communities healthier. Regular checkups are also a great time to:
✔️ Check your child’s growth and development.
✔️ Ask questions about nutrition.
✔️ Make sure immunizations are up to date.
WIC encourages families to stay connected with their child’s healthcare provider. When is your child’s next well-child visit?
