LET'S TALK ABOUT WALK-INS: Today, ACCESS doled out 800+ doses at their clinic in Sterling Heights.
BUT -- many had to wait a long time, were turned away, and decided it was a bad experience. So here are some suggested walk-in vaccine clinic experience and etiquette tips:
1) Don't line up at the door of a community vaccine clinic. It's very likely a smaller venue. The staff and volunteers need people to be orderly to have an effective flow of in and out. (ACCESS had 200 people at their door two hours before the clinic opened today)
2) Utilize the clinic hours and don't show up first thing if you don't have to. Try late morning, afternoon or evening, if possible.
If everyone shows up at the same exact time, swamping staff at the clinic, of course there's going to be a wait!
