How to Prepare & What to Bring
Attending a drive-thru clinic is simple. To ensure a smooth process, follow these tips:
- Wear appropriate clothing: Short sleeves or loose-fitting shirts make it easy for the nurse to access your arm.
- Bring your ID: An ID is recommended, but not always required.
- Bring your insurance card: If you have one, bring it. If not, the shot is still provided at no or low cost at public events.
- Consent Form: You can often download and complete a consent form beforehand to save time, or fill one out on-site.
