4Procedures & Vaccines
Procedures and vaccines are scheduled
according to our standard protocol.
Usually, no more than 2 vaccines are
given per adult and 4 per child. If you
have a simple cold, you can still receive
a vaccine.
Patients on steroids, chemotherapy,
immunosuppresants or those exposed to
someone with these will need to discuss
vaccines with the provider. After your
procedure, you will be returned to the
appropriate waiting room or seated inside
for a provider.
Triage
In triage, the medical assistant or nurse
needs to update specific clinical
information. They do not need to know
the detailed history of your illness. That
5information can be saved for the provider.
Please provide the main reason for your
visit, especially if you have a fever, cough,
chest pain, shortness of breath, are frequently
urinating or may be pregnant. Your
medication list must be reviewed in
detail, including the name, strength and
quantity of each medication.
Requests for refills are made here,
but will be verified by the
provider and sent by the provider.
Please inform the assistant at this
point of any new diagnosis,
procedure, surgery, allergy, hospital or
rehab stay since your last visit. This helps
them to better prepare your chart for the
provider while you wait.
