Is There A Medical Information Technician In The House?
Frickin' loopholes again.
Tennessee just changed the immunization requirements for secondary education this year, and all of a sudden they need proof that I got my MMR shots. My problem is that I got those so long ago that my pediatrician is dead, buried and had a public library named for him. I'm not sure my records have even survived the decades and moves that have happened since. But I have to have a doctor sign off on me so I can re-submit my enrollment papers to Tech School. Can a doctor just do a look-up on me just from my name and SSN? Or am I going to have to go to some state health department office somewhere?
