Question

Will a clinic give immunizations without an immunization record?

I need to get immunizations for clinical hours that start in a week in a half. I have no records of my childhood immunizations, so I scheduled an appointment for an antibody test with my doctor. Only problem I wouldn't get the results until the day after I am supposed to start and then would still need to get the immunizations.

The last immunization I had was tetanus and Hep B 11 years ago, so I know I need them again.

So I was thinking going to a clinic instead to just get them. But will they just give them to me without records? WIll they do an antibody test too or not since its a clinic?

Answer 1

It has been my experience that Drs will often repeat routine vaccinations without much question.  I hope that you get it taken care of.  Good Luck.

Answer 2

Yes. They are suppossed to ask you when you had them last.  Just tell them and it should work out.  You can take a statement from your DR. for your proof that you have had them.
