Make your clinic selection and add your first week to your shopping cart. Choose only one week per child and follow the prompts to complete and pay for this initial week. This initial registration will save your child s information, eliminating the need for you to re-enter the information each time you add additional clinic weeks. (If you choose multiple weeks for your child during the initial registration, you will have to re-enter their information for each of the weeks). Complete your initial registration and payment (including any promo codes) by paying in full or via payment plan options.

Sibling Discounts and Promotions You will be able to process sibling discounts and promotion codes when the registration and child s file creation directions are followed.

For Example you Should: Register one or more children at the same time for week 2 clinics. For Example you Should Not: Register one or more children for weeks 2, 3, and 5 at the same time. (Discounts will only apply once and not for three weeks.) Helpful Hints and Reminders Phone numbers can be entered more than once. Tetanus shots must be entered as month/day/year.
