Now Make an appointment with your health care provider You must make an appointment with your primary health care provider (e.g., nurse practitioner, doctor, physician's assistant). It could take time to get an appointment, so we recommend contacting your health care provider's office as soon as possible so they can inform you of the best timing and method (in-office visit or telehealth appointment). If you do not have an identified clinic or primary care provider, email [email protected] for help connecting to resources that may be available to you. At your healthcare provider appointment Obtain necessary immunizations and a copy of your record Print a copy of the Required and Recommended Immunizations for Princeton University. Be sure that your immunization record includes all of the immunization requirements. Your provider may also share copies of lab titer (blood test) results showing immunity or chest x-ray reports as part of your immunization record.
