Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center will hold its annual Sports Physicals and Immunizations Clinic event 8 a.m.-3 p.m. July 21 and Aug. 11 at

the Thomas Moore Health Clinic.

Children ages 4-18 years who are enrolled in Tricare are eligible to receive care at this clinic. All participants are required to make an appointment before the event.

Only childhood immunizations required by the State of Texas for school attendance will be given at this clinic.

Children with appointments must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and should be dressed in comfortable gym clothing and shoes. Those over the age of 10 must have a DEERS identification card in their name. Parents or guardians of children under the age of 10 will also be required to provide a DEERS identification card. Additionally, participants will need to bring a copy of their school’s sports physical form and their immunization record.

The Killeen Parks and Recreation Department does not require sports physicals for participation. Killeen and Copperas Cove Independent School Districts only require sports physicals for students who are entering the 7th, 9th or 11th grades unless there has been a change in the student’s medical condition since their last examination. Fort Hood Child and Youth Services require physicals for children of all ages in order to participate in activities.

To schedule an appointment for the SPASIC event, call the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center Appointments line at 288-8888, 7 a.m.-4 p.m.
