Back to School Vaccines at Richfield Medical Group
Get Ready for School—Without the Stress
School supply lists are long enough. You shouldn’t have to scramble to find a provider who can handle your child’s vaccines and physicals on short notice. Whether you’ve just realized immunization forms are due or you’re trying to plan ahead, we’re here to make it easy.
At Richfield Medical Group, we offer same-day back to school vaccines, bundled with sports physicals or wellness checks, in a familiar setting where your child feels comfortable. Our pediatric team knows local school requirements, keeps thorough immunization records, and provides care that’s thoughtful, not rushed.
When you’re managing work, family, and back-to-school prep, you deserve a partner that simplifies the process and supports your child’s long-term health.
Vaccines Your Child Needs—All in One Place
Minnesota requires specific immunizations before school starts. These may include:
- DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis)
- Polio
- MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
- Varicella (chickenpox)
- Hepatitis B
- Additional vaccines based on age or grade level
At Richfield Medical Group, we stay up-to-date with every requirement so you don’t have to. We’ll review your child’s vaccination history, identify exactly what’s needed, and administer all required back to school vaccines in one visit.
What sets us apart? We’re not just giving shots—we’re building continuity. Your child sees providers who know their name, understand their health history, and support their growth from year to year. We also coordinate with schools to ensure paperwork is submitted correctly, on time, and with zero last-minute surprises.
What to Expect During Your Child’s Visit
Back to school appointments at RMG are designed with busy families in mind. Here’s how we make it easier:
- Fast, flexible scheduling: Same-day or next-day appointments available—especially during peak back-to-school season
- Bundled services: We can combine back to school vaccines, wellness checks, and sports physicals in a single visit
- Child-friendly approach: Our pediatric providers explain every step, use calming language, and work to make the experience as smooth as possible
- Real-time records: We maintain up-to-date immunization logs and can send completed forms directly to schools upon request
- Local insight: Because we’ve served Richfield families for generations, we’re familiar with school district policies and can flag any missing elements early
- Future reminders: We’ll help you stay on track for upcoming vaccines or wellness milestones
If your child is starting kindergarten, heading into 7th grade, or preparing for college, vaccine requirements can vary. We’ll walk through everything with you, including optional vaccines that offer additional protection. And if you’ve fallen behind on the schedule? No judgment—just a plan to catch up.
Our job is to make this one less thing you have to worry about.
