Satellite, Temporary, and Off-Site 

Vaccination Clinic Supply Checklist

08/06/20

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.
