Organized documentation is the single most important factor in keeping a family appointment running smoothly. Use this checklist before your visit.
For Every Family Member
- All available vaccination records (official immunization cards, provider printouts, or digital records)

- Records of any chronic medical conditions or prior surgeries
- List of current medications with dosages
- Records of any prior positive TB test (TST or IGRA) and treatment history
- Payment for each person's exam (cash, credit, or debit accepted)
For Children (Under 18)
- Birth certificate (required if no government-issued photo ID)
- Parent or legal guardian must be present throughout the exam
- All vaccination records including birth hospital vaccines and well-child visit records
- School health records if available
- Comfort item for young children (stuffed animal, small toy) to ease anxiety
For Seniors (65+)
- Complete and current medication list with dosages and prescribing physician

Missing vaccination records? Do not cancel your appointment. Come in with whatever you have. Our civil surgeon can work with incomplete records, advise on what is missing, and administer catch-up vaccines at the clinic if necessary. Contact your primary care provider or our office before the appointment for guidance.
