Obtaining Clinical Clearance

If you are unable to obtain documentation (from high school, previous college, or military records), immunizations for Clinical Clearance are available during specially scheduled "clinics" throughout the year. 

There is a charge for the administration of all immunizations. A fee is charged by the lab for antibody testing.

The time it will take to complete your clinical clearance will depend upon what you are missing.
