Vaccine Clinic


McCormick YMCA (More Information)

What to Expect

  1. Check-In
    When you arrive at the clinic, you will be given a queue number. Just like a good ole deli counter.
  2. Health Screening
    One of our volunteers will call your number and review your medical history.
  3. Vaccination
    The doctor will discuss which vaccines are recommended for your pet. Receive your pet’s vaccine from a trained medical professional. The actual vaccination takes just seconds.
  4. Observation Period
    Wait 15 minutes in our observation area. This is a safety precaution to monitor for any immediate reactions.
  5. Documentation
    Receive your rabies card and information sheet about potential side effects and follow-up care.
  6. Extra Services
    When staffing permits, we offer nail trims for your pet for a small donation. No amount is too small.
