2. Please fill out the consent form ahead of time and bring it with you to the clinic. Due to social distancing, PDDH has extremely limited space to fill out forms, so it is best to fill it our prior to coming to the clinic.

• If you cannot make a copy, bring your insurance card to your appointment. Copies can also be made at the Southbury Public Library during library open hours for $0.10 per page.

5. Arrive at the clinic for your appointed time. Plan on at least 30-45 minutes at the clinic. There will be a 15-minute waiting time after you receive your vaccine for precautionary observation.

6. You will need to schedule an appointment for a second dose at the time of your first vaccination. The second dose should be given 28 days after the first dose. Every effort should be made to obtain your second dose from the same organization that provided your first dose.
