The

If I can't get the needed immunizations, can I get them at the Health Center?
Yes, for a fee, but it is recommended to get them before school starts.
If I am an athlete, do I still need a pre-entrance physical even though I'll get a sports physical?
Yes, Otterbein records must be complete before sports participation can occur.
If I have other questions, who can I call?
