Our clinics use the C.A.R.D. system

Our clinics use the CARD (Comfort Ask Relax Distract) system to help improve your vaccination experience. CARD lets you choose coping strategies for a more positive vaccination experience. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment wearing a short-sleeved shirt or loose-fitting clothing. Upon arrival, clinic staff will ask you about your coping preferences and answer your questions. Here are some examples of options:

    • Do you want a support person? You can bring a support person with you to your appointment.

    • Do you want a distraction? Bring an item from home to use like an electronic device or fidget toy. The clinic will also have items available.

    • Do you want privacy? All clients in our clinic are vaccinated in a private space out of view of others. Children are also vaccinated separately from siblings whenever possible.

    • Do you want to learn more? Ask us about:

      • The flu vaccine

      • What to expect

      • How to be more comfortable

Think of what you want to do to make your vaccination experience more positive and tell us about it. For more information about CARD, visit www.cardsystem.ca.

After vaccination, you will be asked to wait for 15 minutes to monitor for any side effects. While you are waiting, we will ask you to share your vaccination experiences with us. Your vaccination experience is important to us, and your input will be used to help plan future vaccination clinics.
