Pediatrics

You do everything in your power to keep your children well, but sometimes it goes beyond the bumps, bruises, scrapes and sniffles. Our staff at Community Health Center of Central Missouri care as much for your kids as they do their own. We believe that each child’s medical needs are to be met by a thorough understanding of the child and family’s background, medical history and individual circumstances. The Community Health center of Central Missouri’s medical professionals are experienced at providing primary and preventative care for children through the age of 18. Services Include:

  • Well-child health maintenance exams
  • Treatment of acute and chronic problems
  • Immunizations
  • Specialty referrals when needed

Immunizations

Fully immunizing your child according to the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics can help protect your child from many common infections. These infections can lead to serious and even life threatening complications. Although the vaccines may have mild side effects and more rarely, serious complications, in general, it is safer to immunize your children than allow them to get any of the infections that they prevent. To schedule your child’s appointment call the number below.
 
Some adults incorrectly assume that the vaccines they received as children will protect them for the rest of their lives. Generally this is true, except that:
  • Some adults were never vaccinated as children
  • Newer vaccines were not available when some adults were children
  • Immunity can begin to fade over time. As we age, we become more susceptible to serious disease caused by common infections.

It can sometimes be difficult to understand or keep track of exactly which vaccines you need. Call Community Health Center of Central Missouri and talk to one of our representatives. Your doctor can then go over with you what vaccination are recommended and when.
