Resources for the First Year of Life

The first year of life is filled with major health and developmental milestones. It is important that you take your baby to the doctor for needed immunizations and health visits. Buckeye created a member booklet (PDF) to help you learn and track your baby’s appointments and keep health records in one place.

Keeping your child up-to-date on their immunizations can be challenging. Buckeye’s Immunization Chart (PDF) helps you understand which immunizations your child needs and when. Learn why it’s important to get your child vaccinated. Visit our vaccination page.
