This is a partnered post for Minute Clinic. All thoughts express are my own.
I can’t believe that summer vacation is almost over for the kids. We have had some fun this summer but I think the kids are ready to go back to school so they can see their friends. I also have a sophomore that can’t wait to try out again for the high school’s volleyball team.
If your child is interested in sports and in need of a physical, the Minute Clinic offers pre-participation sports physicals for just $39 which is a savings of $20. Even if a physical is not required, it is very important to make sure that your children are healthy and safe to participate in the sport they want to play.
MinuteClinic also offers a variety of back to school vaccinations to make sure that your child does not miss their first day of school. If your child is just starting school for the first time it is very important to know what your state’s requirements for vaccinations are such as meningitis and pertussis. Schools will NOT let your child start on the first day of school if they do not have the proper vaccinations. Got a child that is ready to head off to college? MinuteClinic also offers college physicals too!

My kids both have August birthdays, so they get their shots at their well visits. This is a great plan B, though.

I love Minute Clinic! It’s great when I just need a quick fix. I don’t have time to wait for an appointment.
Amber Edwards says
I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about vaccines this year. We always take care of all that stuff at well visits on birthdays. But what a great idea for those that need to get vaccines before school!
Stefany says
I had no idea CVS did vaccinations. We get them at the well visits but this is great for those that need those quick appointments!

Do they do back to school physicals too? I need to enroll my daughter in the homeschool program. and physicals are required.

I actually haven’t even heard of it before, yet I am a mom to an athlete, so I’m super curious. Clicking over to have a read – thanks!

We are using the clinic! It’s not for back-to-school, but hubby needs his shots before baby comes!
Pam says
We have used Minute Clinic before and we were very happy with it. I did not know they offered pre-participation sports physicals though.

It is so funny you brought this up… turns out that my Baby Miss needs a shot before school and her doctor doesn’t have any appointments. I was freaking out about what to do, but with this reminder, I now know… Thanks

Good to know about this because even though I try to keep my crap together, I inevitably miss the sports physicals EVERY SINGLE TIME! I hope I find one near us because school is starting before I we know it.

I had no idea that Minute Clinic did vaccinations, or sports physicals. I have no doubt that this will come in handy for me.

Thanks for sharing. We do not have any minute clinics in Canada but the immunization program sounds great.

This is totally the way to get the immunizations done. No fuss, no hassles! I’m all for it!

I can’t tell you how great Minute Clinic is when you have those emergency situations and you can’t get an appointment with the pediatrician. Minute Clinic to the rescue!
