    Many doctors' offices schedule appointments several weeks or even months in advance. Students who are unable to schedule an appointment before the June 15 deadline could instead go to their current physician’s office and ask the office to fill in the immunization history on Bryn Athyn College's medical form. Physicians' offices are able usually to do this in less than a week. Once the immunization information is entered on the form by the physician's office then a student may use a service such as a "CVS Minute Clinic" to complete the remaining physician's portion of the medical form. The cost for this service at a minute clinic or similar service is usually in the range of 50-80 dollars.
