- Fill out your consent form in advance and bring it with you
- Please wear a T-shirt or other short-sleeved garment so vaccinators can access your upper arm/shoulder area
- We know that sometimes people forget their form and we will have forms available BUT it would be very helpful if you had your NHI number with you or your University ID or driver’s licence
- If you do not have an NHI number, let the clinic know when you arrive for your appointment
