Samantha Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about school safety and school physicals as a new school year is about to begin. As students prepare for the new school year, parents are being reminded not to overlook important health essentials. Along with backpacks, new shoes, and school supplies, making sure your child’s physical exams and vaccines are current is vital. Schools often require up-to-date immunizations and sports physicals, ensuring a healthy start and participation in activities. Don’t wait until the last minute—schedule appointments now to avoid last-minute rushes. Road safety is very important to keep people, especially children, safe while crossing the road or riding a bike or scooter. For a full checklist of school health requirements, visit the OSF Healthcare website for guidance and resources to keep your student on track for a safe and successful return to class.
