Avoid the Rush! Get Back-to-School Exams and Immunizations Now

Posted on July 16th, 2012

Every year, thousands of Gwinnett, Netwon and Rockdale County children prepare to enter Kindergarten/school with the familiar rush to purchase school supplies, tour new class rooms and be introduced to new teachers and friends.

Through a little early prevention, your child can look forward to a fun, happy and healthy time at school.

Immunizations and Screenings

One key component of preparing for back to school is ensuring your child is up to date with their medical and immunizations requirements. Fees for immunizations start at $14.75. With proper documentation, out of state immunizations records can be transferred onto the required Georgia form 3231 at a cost of $4 per child.

The Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale County Health Departments provide children’s health exams which include lab tests, hearing, vision and dental screenings; nutritional and developmental assessments; and physical exams for infants and children up to age 21.

All screenings done through our health centers include:

Hearing Screening – $15
Vision Screening – $15
Dental Screening – $10

Vision, hearing, and dental records can be transferred from another physician (from any state) with proper documentation for $4 per child. All transferred information must contain documented test results for visual acuity, hearing test levels and dental screening results and the exams must have been completed within a calendar year.
