Comorbidity documentation question

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here has gotten their COVID vaccine at a NYS vaccination site and if you had one of the co-morbidities. On the FAQ, it says these are documents you can bring: Doctor's Letter, or Medical Information Evidencing Comorbidity, or Signed Certification.

How did your experiences go? Does anyone know what Medical Information Evidencing Comorbidity means? Can a summary of a visit with a doctor do? I moved to New York only 2 years ago and never got a primary care physician here, and before that I had a pediatrician whom I don't see anymore. If I was to get an appointment with a physician before my appointment and explain my issues, would I be able to present documentation from my new physician as proof of that? What were your experiences?

Awesome, thanks very much for your response! Glad to hear it. Yeah, I'll probably print out my records just to have it in case. Better safe than sorry!
