School days are here again for Rappahannock youngsters and parents need to be reminded that there are health and safety considerations that are important in preparing their children for another nine months of studies.
According to the American Medical Medical Association, five and six-yearolds entering school for the first time need a thorough health examination. The family doctor will know what to do. His examination will cover all aspects of the child’s health and will include hearing to make certain the child can hear the teacher and vision to make sure he can see the blackboard. The doctor will also give any booster immunizations that might be required.
To enter Rappahannock schools, children are required to be immunized against polio, diptheria-whooping cough-tetanus (DPT), Rubeola (red) measles and Rubella (German) measles and small pox unless contraindicated by a physician. All of the required shots are available from public health nurse Frances Thornton at the county Health Department in Washington.
The AMA recommends a child getting four or five thorough health examinations during the school years.
