Vaccine Event Details

Plan to arrive at the GHC Cartersville site at the time you have chosen on the formPlease review this site map as you read the following instructions.

What will I need? 

The vaccination part of this event is non-private, meaning there won’t be any screens or areas to remove clothing for your shot. In consideration of this, you should wear a sleeveless top or short-sleeved shirt that will allow you to easily expose your arm and shoulder area. 

You will also need some form of identification (such as a driver’s license), as well as your health insurance card.  

Where do I go? 

The vaccination event will take place in “Student Center Building B.” Park in Lot “B” behind the student center. (Please do not park in the “Limited Parking (LP)” area directly in front of the student center. This area is reserved for pharmacy personnel.) 

From the parking lot, enter the student center at the back entrance (nearest “D” deliveries drive). 

Once you are inside the student center, make your way to the check-in table. (You will need your form of identification and health insurance card to check in.) 

After you check in to the event, enter the student gym entrance. 

Half of the student gym will be used for vaccinations, and the other half of the gym will have spaced seating for 15-minute post-vaccination observation. 

What can I expect? 

Once you have checked in, you will proceed to the gym through the connecting hallway to receive your vaccination. 

After your vaccination is complete, you will move to the spaced seating area on the opposite side of the student gym to wait for 15 minutes. You will also receive a vaccination card or have your current vaccination card updated. 

Once your information has been uploaded to the Georgia Immunization Registry, you will then exit through the gym doors behind the waiting area to the walkway leading back to the parking lot. (You won’t be able to move back the way you entered.)
