I’m going to get a COVID19 vaccine. A carer can stay with me. Getting the vaccine will help prevent
me from getting sick from COVID19. The nurse will give me a mask to wear when I enter the
building.

A person will meet me at the front door.
They will ask me my name.

I will need to use hand sanitizer and my
temperature will be taken.

I will go to the desk. The person will ask me to fill in a form. A carer or family member can
help with this. I will need my green Medicare card.

Then I need to wait my turn. It can be busy and noisy. There is a TV but I can bring other things that I like to do, like my iPad or a book or anything that makes me feel happy and
safe.

When my name is called, I go into a little room. I can have someone else with me. A nurse will ask my name and when my
birthday is. The nurse will ask me if I understand about the COVID19 vaccine. It’s OK to feel scared. The nurse will talk to me
if I am worried and answer my questions.

The nurse will roll up my sleeve and clean my
arm. The nurse will give me the vaccine using
a needle. It may feel like a pinch. The nurse
will put a Band-Aid on my arm.

Then I will go to another waiting area where I
will get a sticker. I will need to wait for 15
minutes.

If I feel sick, I will tell a nurse. They will help
me.

If I need to go to the toilet, there are toilets for me
here.

The nurse will tell me when I can go home. I will
leave a different way.
