Any vaccine records that you would like filled out
- If you are receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, remember to bring all of your CDC COVID vaccine administration cards with you so that we can add your newest vaccine
- If you have another vaccine record card or document that you would like the nurse to fill out for you, please bring it to your vaccine

On the day of your vaccination

Wear a shirt with easy access to your upper arm -- short sleeves are best
Make sure to eat and drink water
- Many people get nervous prior to receiving a vaccine and may get dizzy around the time of their vaccination. Eating and drinking prior to your vaccine can help prevent fainting!
- Eating and drinking water after your vaccine can help prevent or reduce common side effects of a vaccine
Do not take pain relievers prior to your vaccination to prevent vaccine-related side effects
- Using OTC pain relievers like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or aspirin (unless taken under direction of a healthcare provider) prior to a vaccine can affect how well the vaccine works
- It is ok to use pain relievers for developed side effects like headaches, fever, or pain following your vaccination if needed
Be prepared to stay in the pharmacy
- For safety, you will need to be observed for up to 30 minutes following your vaccination
