In 2015, we started hosting large-scale vaccination clinics with the goal of vaccinating 100 pets in targeted areas. We started hosting one per year, then increased to two per year. We started changing locations in 2018, and in 2019 started the concept of pop-up clinics. Pop-up clinics are even more focused events, providing up to 50 vaccines in a single neighborhood. Pop-up clinics are smaller in scale, requiring fewer volunteers, but our goal is to reach families we have never reached before.
SOP provides timeline and general guidelines for vaccination clinic.
Form printed on two-layer carbon copy paper to be used for families to register.
Flyer printed double-sided on astrobright paper to be distributed to families in the target area. Flyer varies from clinic to clinic, but outline stays the same. Note the "FREE Services" statement on the back, to be displayed when the flyer is rolled.
We share this video with volunteers prior to a canvassing event. It explains the goal of the canvassing event and provides guidelines and expectations for volunteers.

This video outlines the general flow of a clinic and explains each of the stations. These stations might change and morph for each clinic, but the basics are the same.
