Flu is another potentially serious respiratory illness that can cause missed work, hospitalization, and, in some cases, even death.
Guidance from CDC for planning and implementation of satellite, temporary, or off-site vaccination clinics by public and private vaccination organizations. These resources include additional considerations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vaccination Clinics Organization Pledge
This annual pledge is for organizations that conduct satellite, temporary, or off-site vaccination clinics to affirm that they will adhere to best practices, including using the Checklist of Best Practices for Vaccination Clinics Held at Satellite, Temporary, or Off-Site Locations. Organizations that sign the pledge will be recognized on the Summit website for their commitment to provide safe and effective vaccine clinics. Companies seeking to hire an organization to conduct a vaccination clinic can check to see if that organization has signed the pledge and is recognized on the Summit website.
Want to take the pledge? Send an email to vaxclinicpledge@izsummitpartners.org, and a representative will be in touch with you.
