Pediatrics FAQ

At what age should my child first see a pediatrician?

Ideally, your newborn should have their first pediatric check-up within the first week of life, followed by regular visits at 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, and then annually. These early visits are critical for monitoring growth, administering vaccinations, and catching any developmental concerns early. At Amadeo Medical Group in Spanish Town, we welcome newborns from birth.

What vaccinations does my child need?

We follow Jamaica's national immunization schedule, which includes vaccines for BCG (tuberculosis), hepatitis B, DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus), polio, Hib, pneumococcal disease, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), and varicella. Our pediatric team maintains your child's immunization record and provides reminders when doses are due. If you have missed any vaccines, we can create a catch-up schedule.

When should I bring my child in for an urgent visit?

Bring your child to Amadeo Medical Group if they have a fever above 38.5 C (101.3 F), persistent vomiting or diarrhea, difficulty breathing, an earache lasting more than a day, a rash that spreads quickly, or any injury that causes significant pain or swelling. We accept walk-ins 7 days a week. For life-threatening emergencies, call 110 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Do you provide school medical forms and health certificates?

Yes. Our pediatrician completes school entry medical forms, sports physical examinations, and health certificates for children attending schools in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, and across Jamaica. Please bring your child's previous health records and vaccination booklet to the appointment for a thorough assessment.

What ages do you see?

Our pediatric department provides care for children from birth through age 18. This includes newborns (first week of life onward), infants, toddlers, school-age children, and adolescents. Each age group has specific health needs, and our pediatrician tailors the visit accordingly, from growth monitoring in infants to confidential health discussions with teenagers.

What vaccinations do you offer?

We follow Jamaica's national immunization schedule, which includes BCG (tuberculosis), hepatitis B, DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus), polio, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), pneumococcal, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), and varicella (chickenpox) vaccines. We also offer catch-up schedules for children who missed doses and keep detailed immunization records with reminders for upcoming boosters.

When should I bring my child for a check-up?

Newborns should be seen within the first week of life, then at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. After the first year, annual wellness visits are recommended. Outside of scheduled check-ups, bring your child in for fever above 38.5 degrees C, persistent vomiting or diarrhoea, breathing difficulty, earache lasting more than a day, rapidly spreading rashes, or any injury causing significant pain or swelling.

Do I need a referral to bring my child to Amadeo?

No referral is needed. You can bring your child directly to Amadeo Medical Group for any pediatric concern. Call (876) 618-0552 to schedule an appointment, or walk in for urgent concerns. We are open Monday through Saturday 8 AM to 7 PM and Sundays 10 AM to 3 PM at 11A Young Street, Spanish Town.
