Here's what Atrium Health says about its mass vaccination events:

• Don’t arrive more than 15 minutes before your appointment time. This helps with physical distancing and keeps the vaccination process and wait time easy for everyone.
• You can bring a purse or bag and any personal items you need.
• After you get your vaccine, wait in the designated areas for 15 to 30 minutes before leaving. This helps us watch for any reaction.
• Limit visitors at this appointment. If you need to bring someone with you, stay close to each other and practice physical distancing from those around you.
• Plan and dress for the weather. Waiting areas are not covered.
• Choose clothing that makes it easy to get to your arm for the vaccination.
• Restrooms will be open.
• Service animals are welcome.
• Bring your vaccination card to your second dose appointment.
