KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- The 18th Medical Group and U.S. Naval Hospital Okinawa will offer walk-in sports physicals at the 18th Medical Group Clinic (Bldg. 626) on Saturday, August 21 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The annual walk-in clinic for sports physicals is a joint effort to offer a convenient way for parents to prepare youth sports participants for the upcoming school year. The event is open to children 6-17 years old eligible for care at military medical facilities in Okinawa.

Immunizations required for sports participation will be offered. Newly arrived Air Force families are requested to bring their most up-to-date immunization record. Parents should bring their child's personal shot records if available so they can be updated by immunizations staff.

Students need to bring all necessary forms required for each sports activity. All participants are required to wear athletic gear (gym shorts, t-shirt or tank top, and athletic shoes) and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
