APPOINTMENT DAY CHECK-IN PROCESS

Please follow our current check-in process.

We appreciate your cooperation with our nursing staff to administer the vaccine to our patients in the safest manner for all.

• Parents need to be prepared to assist in holding their child.
• Nurses have the authority to decline to administer the vaccine if your child is uncooperative.

The above process will be the SAME for 2nd dose appointments.
