Different locations have different requirements. You may need to bring these items:
- Identification with date of birth. This can be a state, tribe, or federal-issued ID. A billing or bank statement with your name and address can usually be used instead.
- Health insurance card. Let your provider know if you do not have insurance.
- Wear short sleeves or loose-fitting sleeves that are easy to roll up so that you can get vaccinated in your upper arm.
- Authorized adult consent: if you are younger than age 18, you may need consent from an authorized adult to get vaccinated. You can consent for yourself if you are emancipated, married to an adult, or the vaccine site determines you are a mature minor. Not all vaccine sites are able to make mature minor decisions. If an authorized adult does not plan to attend the vaccine appointment with you, check with your vaccine provider about requirements for showing proof of authorized adult consent or legal emancipation.
