Its routine they get them about once a year.

At that age, to check weight, testicles and hips mainly. Do you have your red health book yet that will normally have a list of what they check for and when.

Just checked my red book, weight, length, head circumference descended testicles in males, sight, heart, skin and hearing etc (basically a physical exam to to check everything is ok). Its a 6-8 week review though not 15. The next standard review is 6 - 9 months then 18 - 24 months then at age 3.
