Stay Healthy and Ready: Checkups, Immunizations, and Safety Nets for Life’s Unexpected Twists 

As you juggle back-to-school chaos, let’s talk about something crucial: keeping your kids healthy and ready for the school year. Think of checkups, immunizations, and supplemental insurance as your safety net, catching you when life throws curveballs. Whether it’s a playground tumble, sudden illness, or hospital stay, having extra coverage makes all the difference. Fresenius is here to support the Total You—keeping you and your family physically inspired and prepared.

Why Summer is the Best Time for Checkups

Summer is like the calm before the storm of the school year. So, why not use this chill time to get those important doctor visits done? By taking care of checkups now, you won’t be scrambling to fit them into your kid’s already crazy school schedule. No one wants to be booking a doctor’s appointment between soccer practice and homework meltdowns!

The Essentials: What to Check and Why

Think of your kids as high-performance vehicles. Just like cars, they need regular maintenance to run smoothly. For kids aged 3 to 18, an annual physical is their health tune-up. This includes vision and hearing screenings, blood pressure checks, and a few other routine tests—basically an oil change for your child’s well-being. For toddlers and babies, more frequent visits are needed to keep those little engines running smoothly.

What Vaccinations Are Required?

Here’s where it gets a bit technical but still super important. School-age kids need several vaccinations to meet school requirements and keep them (and everyone around them) safe. These include:

  • Chicken Pox: Because no one wants their kid scratching like a DJ.
  • DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis): The ultimate immune system boost.
  • Influenza: To keep the flu bugs at bay.
  • Polio: Let’s keep this serious illness far away.
  • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella): The classic trio of shots that schools often require.

Supplemental Insurance: Your Safety Net

Life’s unpredictable. That’s where Cigna’s Supplemental Insurance comes in. Think of it as your financial safety net, catching you when life throws those curveballs. It provides financial support for significant injuries, illnesses, or even childbirth. From accident insurance that covers broken bones to critical illness insurance for heart attacks and strokes, and hospital care insurance for those unexpected hospital stays, it’s like having a superhero sidekick for your health insurance.
