Call your clinic to schedule missed immunizations.
Child and Teen Checkups are routine health checkups for youth (age 0-21) on Medical Assistance that take place at their regular medical and dental clinic. Medical and dental checkups can help find and treat problems before any lasting harm is done.
Checkups help your child grow to their full potential. The Child and Teen Checkups (C&TC) Program works with families and health professionals to make sure youth are getting all their checkups.
