Guidance for Safely Vaccinating at Off-Site Locations

CDC has issued revised Guidance for Planning Vaccination Clinics Held at Satellite, Temporary, or Off-Site Locations. The purpose of the guidance is to assist with planning and implementation of satellite, temporary, or off-site vaccination clinics by public and private vaccination organizations.

The guidance is broken down into four categories:

• Planning activities
• Pre-clinic activities
• During the clinic activities
• Post-clinic activities

The guidance also includes information on additional considerations that are required during the COVID-19 pandemic, including physical distancing, personal protective equipment (PPE), and enhanced sanitation efforts.

We expect additional materials will be added to these pages, including a supply list and additional curbside and drive-through clinic guidance.
