• All vaccinations are by appointment only. To avoid delays, we ask that patients arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before their appointment.
• The vaccine is given in the upper arm. We ask patients wear clothing that allows the vaccinator to easily access the upper arm.
• A mask that covers the nose and mouth is required at all times. We will provide a mask for those who don’t have one.
• Expect to remain at the site for 15 to 30 minutes after receiving the vaccine for observation.
• D0 not come to an appointment if you are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, are under quarantine or have a COVID-19 test result pending.
• One support person is allowed, but that person should be healthy, with no cough, fever or flu-like symptoms. The support person will also need to wear a mask while in the center.

As a reminder, the best way for community members to schedule an appointment is through MyChart. You do not have to be a patient to sign up for a MyChart account at MyNovant.org. For more information on scheduling a COVID-19 vaccination appointment, visit GetVaccinated.org.
