Back-to-School Health: Your Pharmacy Checklist 

back-to-school-health-your-pharmacy-checklist

As the new school year approaches, parents and caregivers juggle everything from school supplies to updated routines. One essential part of preparation often overlooked is a pharmacy-backed health checklist. Ensuring your child’s wellness now can help avoid unexpected issues later. Drew Center Pharmacy offers everything needed to streamline your back-to-school health prep with reliable care and convenience.

  • Update Immunizations

    Check with your child’s school to verify vaccination requirements for the new academic year. Whether it’s routine shots or seasonal flu vaccines, we can provide or help you access these services efficiently. Staying current with immunizations keeps your child protected and reduces the risk of outbreaks in school settings.

  • Refill and Review Prescriptions

    If your child takes regular medication—whether for asthma, allergies, or attention-related concerns—ensure all prescriptions are filled and up to date. Review dosage instructions and potential side effects with your pharmacist. Ask about generic options or alternatives if cost is a concern.

  • Stock Up on Over-the-Counter Essentials

    Getting ahead of common school-year ailments starts with having the right over-the-counter (OTC) products on hand. Pain relievers, pediatric cold medications, antihistamines for allergies, and hand sanitizers are all practical items to keep in your home. These essentials help manage symptoms quickly and prevent minor issues from turning into missed school days. A pharmacist can guide you in selecting age-appropriate options that align with school health policies, ensuring your child is prepared without any medication-related concerns.

  • Prepare a School Health Kit

    Create a compact health kit for your child’s backpack. Include adhesive bandages, tissues, hand sanitizer, and any personal items approved by the school nurse. This proactive step empowers kids to handle minor issues discreetly during the school day.

  • Schedule a Wellness Check

    Coordinate with your healthcare provider for an annual physical or vision exam if required. We can help you stay on track by coordinating reminders or working with local clinics and providers.

Drew Center Pharmacy is ready to help you and your family feel confident for the school season. Contact us today to get personalized guidance on back-to-school health needs.
