Co-Administration
- Individuals 6 months and older, may receive a COVID-19 vaccine
simultaneously with (i.e., same day), or at any time before or after non-COVID-
19 vaccines (including live and non-live vaccines). If vaccines are co-
administered, immunization on separate limbs is recommended, however if the
same limb must be used, the injection sites should be separated by at least 2.5
cm (1 inch).
- There are two exceptions. COVID-19 vaccines should not be co-administered
with the Imvamune vaccine (for mpox) and the Arexvy vaccine for Respiratory
Syncytial Virus (RSV). It is recommended to wait at least 2 weeks in-between.
Do I need to register online or book an appointment at Carl's:
As of now, no need to register online, or book an appointment. Once the vaccines arrive at Carl's we will do Clinic-days (3 times a week) for a few weeks, then we will start accepting walk-ins on daily basis.
​
During our Clinic-days, we will be fully staffed and we usually do a shot every 2-3 minutes, so you will not wait in the store for long.
During the next phase of walk-in, there might be a little wait time depends on how busy it is.
​
To minimize the wait time, please print and fill the allergy forms before you arrive at the store. Forms will be available to be filled at the store but may increase your wait time.
