Immunizations
are an essential part of health supervision. Every health
encounter, including acute care visits, should be seen
as an immunization opportunity.
You will
want to review the child's or adolescent's immunization
status and ensure
that it is updated.
The
HealthCheck Program requires that PCPs follow the most
current immunization schedule approved by the Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices, the American
Academy of Pediatrics, and the American
Academy of Family Physicians.
