Before your vaccination
Make an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccine. You need an appointment so we can track your vaccination in a medical record, ensure you get the proper second dose, and to ensure we have enough vaccine on-site to administer. For safety reasons, please only bring someone with you if you need support.
If you have a MyChart account, remember to E-CheckIn before the time of your appointment. This will make sure we have all your information, and that you are providing consent to get the vaccine.
On the day of your shot, please dress in layers, starting with a short-sleeved shirt, so it’s quick and easy for the vaccinator to reach your upper arm.
Please remember to eat and drink before you get your vaccination.
When you arrive for your vaccination
Parking is free.
Remember to wear your mask when leaving your vehicle, and at all times until you return to your vehicle.
Get registered for the vaccine. A registration assistant will ask you a few questions and complete your appointment registration.
Get your vaccine card. If this is your first dose, you will be given a small card from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with your name and other information. Save this card for your second dose. (If this is your second dose, the registrar will check your card, so please remember to bring it with you.)
Wait in line, and please remember to stand at least 6 feet apart from others.
Get your vaccine! A vaccinator will again check your information, swab a bit of your preferred upper arm with an alcohol rub, give you your shot, and place a small adhesive bandage there. It takes just a minute.
Get your card completed. A staff member will complete your vaccine card with the type of vaccine you received and the date. (This may happen while you are in line to get your vaccine.)
Wait about 15 minutes. Be prepared to sit in one of the chairs provided and wait about 15 minutes — the “observation time.” You may want to bring something to read, or use your smartphone. Out of courtesy for others, please do not make phone calls or take photos while waiting.
You’re good to go! If you’re feeling fine, you can just leave after 15 minutes or so. If you have any issues while you are waiting, just tell any clinic staff member and they will be able to help you.
