Attention Parents: School Forms

When our office has completed your school forms, it is a good idea for you to make a copy for your files. The immunization record will be up to date until your child gets another vaccination. The health inventory is generally good for two years unless otherwise requested by your physician. You may copy these forms as needed for daycare, camp, or school. High School sports participation physicals must be done yearly.

Effective 6/1/2004 there will be a $ 3.00 fee for completion of any forms. Pre-payment will be required. Each spring and summer we receive hundreds of forms which need to be filled out for various groups.

Attention New Parents
DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT IMMUNIZATIONS?

We now have available a set of two informational videos about all of the current immunizations provided to children, titled, Vaccines and Your Baby and Vaccines: Separating Fact from Fear. These videos are produced by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in association with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The videos provide comprehensive, up-to-date information based on scientifically sound data.  You may obtain the set of videos to take home for a $20 deposit, which will be returned to you when you return the videos. We ask that you return the videos within a week so that other parents may view them as well.  The videos may also be ordered for purchase form the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia at 215-590-9990 or on their website: www.vaccine.chop.edu.  Please see a receptionist to sign out the videos.
