Regular checkups, also known as Health Tracks or well-child checks, are the same service. These visits can be done by a medical provider of your choice or by your local Public Health Unit.
Children should get these check-ups at regular times, even when they are feeling well.
Babies grow fast and need a lot of check-ups. These should be done at:
- 1 month
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 9 months
- 12 months
Toddlers need check-ups at:
- 15 months
- 18 months
- 24 months
- 30 months
After 30 months, children need a check-up at ages 3, 4, 5, 6 and then yearly up to age 21. Additional check-ups are also covered based upon a child's needs.
