Abstract

Abstract: Numerous state, national, and global resources exist for planning and executing mass vaccination campaigns. However, they are disparate and can be complex. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for clear, easy to use mass vaccination resources. Meanwhile, annual influenza vaccination, as well as outbreaks such as mpox, demonstrates the need for continued emphasis on timely and effective vaccinations to mitigate outbreaks. This pocket guide seeks to combine relevant resources and basic steps for setting up a mass vaccination clinic, utilizing experience from COVID-19 mass vaccination sites.
