• If you are currently taking an eligible medication (COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendations for Third Doses ):
  • It is highly recommended and preferred to bring proof of the prescription (e.g., pharmacy medication record). This is because some medications may be toxic to others and require special handling.
  • If you do not have a pharmacy medication record, call your pharmacy to request one.
  • If you must bring medications to the clinic, place them in a clean, see-through plastic bag and ensure the bag is closed. Medication bottles must include prescription date, your name, and contact info for the pharmacy.
