In the United States, each state has its own mandated immunization requirements determined by state laws. In addition to these requirements, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians, jointly establish a schedule for immunizations every year. Following this schedule is common practice for health check-ups and immunizations throughout the country. At our clinic, we provide age-appropriate screenings, recommended vaccinations, and health check-ups that align with the mandated tests, recommended guidelines, and the Japanese School Health Act.
