Satellite, Temporary, and Off-Site Vaccination Clinic Supply Checklist
Below are supplies that may be needed to conduct a satellite, temporary, or off-site vaccination clinic. The list may not be comprehensive. Your state or local public health immunization program may also have a checklist.
For large-scale clinics held at large facilities, such as stadiums and arenas, or over multiple days, additional supplies will be needed. Contact your state or local public health preparedness program and work with the clinic medical director for additional guidance and assistance.
Quantity of supplies needed will vary significantly between smaller, one-day clinics held in schools, churches, or pharmacies and large-scale clinics held in arenas or held over multiple days.
If possible, it is preferable that emergency medical services (EMS) staff be available during the clinic. Clinical staff providing vaccine should be trained in CPR and able to respond to medical emergencies.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, additional supplies are needed to protect both staff and patients, including:
- Additional hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol for hand hygiene
- Additional cleaning equipment for more frequent cleanings, using EPA’s Registered Antimicrobial Products for Use Against Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2external icon
- Hand soap, as appropriate
- Face coverings for patients who arrive without one
- Additional signage, tape, ropes, and cones to encourage physical distancing and provide one-way flow through the clinic
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff. Gloves should be worn by anyone administering intranasal or oral vaccine. Depending on level of community transmission, eye protection may also be recommended.
- Thermometers for checking patient temperature before entering the clinic, if required
- Tissues
