On arrival, security will check your Ehteraz you will be directed to one of the primary waiting lanes. Each occupant of the car is asked to have their Ehteraz ready for inspection on arrival.
Once you reach the front of the primary waiting lane, you will be directed to one of the 10 vaccination lanes.
Your first stop will be at the registration/assessment pod. A member of the drive-through center team will ask for QID, health card, and vaccination card for each of the car occupants and they will ask a few quick assessment questions.
The second stop is at the vaccination pod. A member of the drive-through team will take each occupant’s vaccination card and they will administer the vaccine to vehicle occupants through the vehicle windows.
Once all occupants have been vaccinated, you will then be asked to drive into the observation parking area where you will be required to wait (in your car) for a short while to ensure you do not have a reaction to the vaccine.
Once your wait time is up, the observation team will come to your vehicle and give you your completed vaccination cards. You will then be free to leave the drive-through center.
