Getting (a) Physical

Now that my son, James, has graduated from junior high, there are a few more requirements we need to complete for his high school at Bellarmine. One of this is the submission of a completed health form, including vaccination history. So a few days ago, he went for his physical with Dr. Go.

James had not seen Dr. Go for a couple of years. I guess we've overlooked this and missed on having his annual medical check-up before school started. It's a good thing he has not had any illness or injury that would have required us to visit the doctor (or hospital). Our bad.

Since our move from New York, and our change in health insurance over the past years, somehow our current health provider does not have a complete history of his vaccinations. We do, however, have a certified copy of it from the previous provider, which I had to provide the current in order to keep their records up to date. I  also need a copy to turn in at Bellarmine.

The physical examination went well. He received a clean bill of health from his physician. As part of preventive healthcare, he was given a couple of vaccines, the names of which I totally do not remember. He also was administered a TB skin test, which later came out negative. Dr. Go completed his health form and affixed her signature, as well as on the vaccination history. He also received a certification from his doctor that he was fit to do any sport he wishes in high school.

With this done, all that is needed is to mail the documents, and we can mark this requirement "Done".
