Do I need to be present for my child’s appointment?

We strongly encourage you to be present for your child’s appointments to provide information and required signatures for immunizations. In the event you must send your child with another adult, a permission to treat form is required. If a parent or guardian is not present, immunizations may need to be deferred.

What do we need to know?

When you call about an ill child, please be prepared to tell us how long they’ve been sick and what symptoms they’re experiencing, including fever, cough, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, pain or swelling. Please be prepared to take notes on recommendations or medical instructions.
