    COVID-19 Immunization Clinics

    LT-3400.1525

    Programs that provide inoculations that help prevent individuals from contracting the COVID-19 virus, either to the general public or targeting critical workforce personnel and/or higher-risk priority groups. The clinics may be walk-in sites (pharmacies, churches, community centers, outdoor tents) or locations in areas with curbside or drive-through options. Most sites require physical distancing, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and enhanced sanitation efforts. Most of the vaccines are administered as two shots given with a needle, usually in the arm and separated by a period of weeks. The official document for verifying receipt of a COVID-19 immunization in the U.S. is a small, white vaccination record card issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is given to recipients after their first or single shot. The vaccination card serves as a personal immunization record which identifies the vaccine they received, its lot number, the date and the vaccination site as well as a reminder, if applicable, of when their next dose is due. The card is updated with details about a second shot after that is provided.
