Back-to-school season is one of the most important times for your child's health. Here is what Dr. Ngu recommends before the first bell rings.
1. Well-Child Visit
Most Texas schools require an up-to-date physical for sports participation. Dr. Ngu will assess growth, update vaccinations, and screen for vision and hearing issues.
2. Required Vaccinations
Ensure your child is current on: DTaP/Tdap, MMR, Varicella, Hepatitis A & B, and Meningococcal vaccine (required for 7th grade). Annual flu vaccine strongly recommended.
3. Sports Physicals
Students in UIL athletics must have a current sports physical on file. Call 214-444-7871 to schedule before tryouts begin.
