Preventive Screening Tests and Immunizations

Getting regular check ups, preventive screening tests, and immunizations are among the most important things you can do for yourself. Take time to review these guidelines for screening tests and immunizations. Use the charts below to remind yourself of when you need to see your health care provider based on your personal health profile. Make an appointment today! Then, become a partner with your health care provider to decide when you need your screenings and immunizations. Share your family history, speak up, voice your concerns, and always ask questions. For instance, if your health care provider asks you to increase the amount you exercise, ask for examples of exercises that are best for you. If you are confused about how to do a monthly breast self-exam, ask and practice until you understand and feel comfortable doing it. If you are wondering if you need certain screenings, ask your health care provider. You owe it to yourself.
