Tips for vaccination visits

Bring the health booklet to every visit so each dose is recorded in one place.
Missed a dose? It happens — clinics routinely arrange catch-up doses. Just ask; there's no need to restart a series.
A mildly grizzly day after jabs is common. Your clinic will tell you what to expect and when to call — follow their advice over anything you read online (including this page).

Never miss a dose — free reminders
