Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend bringing all available immunization records so we can review your child’s history as efficiently and accurately as possible.
1My child is already fully vaccinated. Do we need to start over?
In most cases, no. We review valid existing immunization records and identify only the vaccinations, if any, that are still required under Georgia guidelines.
2What immunization records should I bring?
Bring all official immunization records you have, including records from another state or country, a physician or clinic, hospital, public health department, or an official vaccination booklet with clearly documented vaccine names and dates.
3Can Form 3231 be completed in one day?
In many cases, yes. Timing may vary if additional vaccinations or further verification are required.
4Can records from outside the United States be used?
In many cases, yes. Our medical team can review official international immunization records to determine what can be used toward Georgia requirements.
5Can I come in without an appointment?
We recommend scheduling in advance to minimize wait time. Same-day appointments are often available depending on the clinic schedule.
