Status of wristband availability for upcoming vaccination clinics – Final report
Saturday, 11.14.09 – No wristbands available
Tuesday, 11.17.09 – Total of 549 wristbands left for the following time slots:
The line is moving quickly and wait time is minimal. Forms, color-coded wristbands and corresponding times for participants to return to get vaccinated will continue to be distributed today on a first-come, first-served basis while supply lasts or until 5 p.m. today, whichever comes first.
Wristbands and forms will NOT be distributed on Saturday or Tuesday. You MUST pick them up today and MUST bring them with you in order to be vaccinated at your appointment time.
You do not need to pick up your wristband and paperwork in person as long as you are in a high-risk group. For example, a parent can pick up a wristband and paperwork for a child that they intend to bring back on Saturday to be vaccinated without bringing the child with them on Friday.
Participants for all clinics will be asked to complete and sign a form certifying that they are in a high-risk group. Adults need to bring a photo ID to verify their age.
