Curbside is the Absolute Best Flow for a One Team Vaccine Clinic!
The best flow is one where clients stay in their vehicles and can proceed through the parking lot in a circular shape.
Here’s an example. The road your check-in person is standing on is shaped like a donut – circular. The cars in line have clients and animals in them. They drive forward and stop for a quick exam and vaccines. They continue driving out of the parking lot.

Having clients stay in their vehicles is safest for everyone. Because:
1. It limits the spread of diseases contained in the soil and through contact with other animals.
2. It minimizes animal handling: a key fear-free approach.
3. It minimizes flight risk (running off).
4. It minimizes the risk of dog fights.
Having clients stay in their vehicles is fastest for everyone. Because:
1. It allows you to provide the exam and vaccines without spending time on clients walking up to the tables with their pet. It should take about two minutes per pet with this curbside approach.
