You must complete the missing requirement before the hold can be cleared.
- Log in to the Patient Portal.
- Click the Immunization tab.
- Scroll down and look beneath the instruction box at the top of the page. In red letters, you will see either the words Compliant, Verified or Not Compliant.
- If you see Compliant, Verified, this means you are in compliance and need to take no further steps. If you see Not Compliant, this means you are not in compliance, and you must take further steps.
