October is wrapping up, but Breast Cancer Awareness Month continues.

Already had your mammogram? Great job! Early detection saves lives.

If not, it’s not too late to get yours. According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, women ages 40 to 74 should have a mammogram once every other year. But some may need a screening sooner. Talk with your doctor about what’s right for you.

October is ADHD Awareness Month.

If your child has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), school can be hard. But an IEP can help.

An IEP is an Individualized Education Program. It’s a learning plan for children with ADHD, autism and other disabilities. It helps teachers know how to support your child. And it can help your child thrive at school.

Does your child have ADHD or another disability? Ask their school counselor or psychologist for an IEP evaluation. Or contact the Assessment and Learning Services Department in your child’s school district.

Planning for a new baby can be an exciting time. But there’s a lot to think about to help keep you and your baby healthy. It’s important to have regular visits with your doctor before and during your pregnancy.

Your doctor may also recommend vaccines to help keep you and your baby safe. The flu shot, the Tdap vaccine and the RSV vaccine may be recommended during pregnancy. The RSV vaccine is usually given during certain times of the year and at specific points in pregnancy. Your doctor will let you know if it’s right for you. Your doctor may say you need other vaccines, too, depending on your vaccine history.

The flu vaccine is one of the best ways to protect against the flu. And it’s extra important for children under 2, since their immune systems are still developing.

Is your baby or toddler getting their first flu vaccine? They’ll need two doses this season. They can get their first shot at 6 months old. They can get the second shot about four weeks after the first. We cover the flu vaccine at no cost when you get it at a doctor or pharmacy in our network.

Your child’s checkups are a great time to teach them how to take care of their health. Here are a few tips:

• Before their doctor visits, ask if they have any questions about their body or how they’re feeling.

• Let them know it’s okay to talk to the doctor and ask questions, too.

• For younger kids, you can use a doll to show what happens at the doctor or read a book about checkups. This can help them feel calm and ready.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Is it time for your mammogram?

A mammogram is a screening for breast cancer. It can help detect breast cancer early — when it may be easier to treat. According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, women ages 40 to 74 should have a mammogram once every other year. But some may need to be tested sooner. Talk with your doctor about what’s right for you.
