We've been talking this week about back to school check-ups. Doctors say the end of summer before kids return to the classroom is one of the best times to get a annual physical and immunizations.
   
Here to give us a few more details from Hendrick Medical Center is Doctor Justin Smith. "Before the school year starts we like to have our kids in to do an examination maybe to get their eyes and ears checked so that they are really ready for the school year to start without any hitches.", explains Smith.

He adds, "In the state of Texas now each year the person that will participate in the UIL athletics, they have to have a physical completed before the school year starts."
