Talk To Your Child’s Doctor About Having Your Children Tested For Lead Poisoning.

Tell your doctor that you’d like to have your children, especially those under age 6, tested for lead.

Your doctor can explain how important it is to have children from 6 months to 2 years tested. During these 18 months, children grow the most. Head Start also requires a blood test when a child enters the program. Ask the Health Specialist at your local Head Start center to tell you about the process.
