Garrett County is often the lowest county in the state for yearly adolescent well child checks. It is important for the children and adolescents of our community to be seen yearly for this preventive visit where we can ensure that these children are healthy and developing normally. Age-appropriate education and screening are also completed at a well-child visit as well as updating immunizations if needed. And, a yearly well child check can help to catch problems early, when they may be easier to treat. Let’s share ideas and collaborate on ways to increase awareness and get our adolescents in to see their doctor for a yearly preventive exam.

The HPV Action Group has been evaluating evidenced based strategies to increase vaccination rates and is working on a provider survey. They would like to share the draft of that survey with this group to gain feedback. Please have your group administrator contact me, thanks!
