Questions revolving around medical clinics!

[Bern. 3]

Sooo, hello everyone! Good evening. I have some questions...so please bare with me!

First off, I am going to go ahead and assume that I will not be having my medical until after December 14th, so with that said.

1) If I take my medical after December 14, will I be required to have the first shot of the HPV vaccination?

Also, I have NEVER had the chicken pox. So my next question is:

2) What are the medical clinics that give out vaccinations on the spot, will they take my word that I have not had the vaccine and then administer it during the medical or will I have to visit with a clinic in my city and get it through them?

That's about it, sorry if they have been asked before...thank you so much in advance! *_*

1) From what I read, that sounds right. You should take a copy of any formal documentation about the Gardasil decision to your medical and show it to them, anyways. You can't always count on these CS's getting up-to-date immediately on new regulations.

2) I had my medical in Vancouver. Because of my age and gender, I needed three vaccs: MMR< Varicella (chicken pox) and TDap. I had blood tests done to confirm that I had had the first two done as a child, but TDap isn't offered by Manitoba Health. I let the medical clinic in Vancouver know this, and they referred me to a travel clinic in Vancouver (about 6 blocks away) to get TDap on the day of my medical. I would imagine the clinic in Montreal can make similar arrangements, but you should email them to confirm.
