Your vaccination visit at Case Western Reserve University should be a smooth, quick process (plan for approximately 45 minutes for your visit).
Please note: Masks are required indoors on the Case Western Reserve University campus.
Here’s an overview of what your visit may look like:
Check-in
First, you’ll go to the check-in area, where you will fill out a registration form providing personal information. An individual will walk you through the form and answer any questions you might have.
Vaccination
Next, you’ll go to a private space, where health care professionals will answer any questions and administer the vaccine. The vaccine is one shot, given in your upper arm. We recommend you wear short sleeves.
The health care professionals will give you a card that tells you what vaccine you received and when, and (on your first visit) lists the date you should return for your second dose.
They’ll then direct you to a nearby waiting area, where you’ll need to stay for 15 minutes to monitor your symptoms. Once your 15 minutes is up, you can head home!
After Your First Dose
You’ve received your first dose—a great start. But the vaccines are only fully effective with two doses. You’ll need to return to campus on the date listed on your vaccination card for your second dose.
Once you receive your card, you can schedule your second dose.
Please know: You may experience some side effects from one or both doses of your vaccine, including a sore arm or even a fever/body aches. These are normal and should not stop you from receiving both doses. Visit our side effects page to learn more.
