What to Bring to Your Appointment

There are some requirements for certain age groups when coming in to receive vaccine(s):
  • An up-to-date immunization record must accompany all children 18 years of age and younger to receive any immunizations! If the child does not have an up-to-date immunization record, they may be refused services.
  • Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian (Legal guardians must bring proof of guardianship).
  • If a child's parent or legal guardian is unable to accompany the child to the clinic for immunizations, they can give written permission to another adult (must be 18+) to bring the child to the clinic. You must bring one for each child you are sending in for immunizations. Also bring a completed screening question form.
    • Download the Authorization for Consent to Immunize form to fill out, sign, and send with child(ren) to be immunized.
    • Or you can write your own letter of permission (this is treated as a one time permission), but it must include the date and:
      • A phone number where parent/legal guardian can be reached
      • Child's name who will be receiving the immunization(s)
      • Name of the person accompanying the child
      • Parent/legal guardian's name - Please print and sign your name
      • Reason why you are sending the child in - for example: "I give consent for my child to receive any and all recommended immunizations"
