PPE Essentials For a Safe & Successful COVID-19 Vaccination Site
With the massive vaccine roll-out plan and new vaccines being approved to increase the availability, there is finally cause for hope. But vaccinating millions of Americans is a herculean effort, especially with the clock ticking on future waves.
The vaccination roll-out has started moving more swiftly, and to help, the CDC recently launched a vaccine finder that enables Americans across the country to find a Coronavirus vaccine near them. It also lets people keep track of vaccine supply, so they know which sites have them and which don’t. Locations offering the vaccine through the Federal government were among the first to be listed.
With a lofty vaccination goal per day, the government has its work cut out for them. It’s an ambitious and much-needed target for pandemic-weary Americans, and the recovery of our country depends on it. With an average of 600 employees working at various vaccination sites 7 days a week, 10 hours a day to ensure the success of the vaccination roll-out campaign, it’s a process that requires major fortitude. To help with supplying a successful site, we compiled a list of 10 PPE essentials to make your vaccination safe and help your inoculation efforts run smoothly and safely.
Disposable Nitrile & Vinyl Gloves in Bulk
These medical exam-grade nitrile vinyl blend gloves are essential for medical professionals administering vaccines. Help your employees feel safe so that they can do their job effectively. These gloves are 100% latex-free, therefore pose no allergy risk. They’re also odor and powder-free for people with skin sensitivities. These vinyl gloves are ideal for mass immunization programs because they are gentle on the skin and ambidextrous for ease of movement. Your employees will enjoy a comfortable fit with these vinyl gloves that are both soft and durable. These gloves are FDA-approved and come in sizes ranging from small to extra-large.

Give your employees peace of mind by placing one of these gel hand sanitizers at every entry and exit point as well as at each station. This bulk hand sanitizer can be used as a stand-alone with a pump or for refill purposes. The Guard III comes in a gallon jug with a handle for ease of use. The pump dispenser is convenient and protects against spills. This gel is composed of 75% ethyl alcohol and meets all FDA requirements.
Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide Wipes – 95 Wipes Per Canister
Keeping vaccination sites clean and free from bacteria is essential to a successful immunization campaign. With 100’s of people moving through these spaces every day, this is no small feat. These hydrogen peroxide wipes are a must for frequent cleaning of surfaces to keep employees and citizens safe. These wipes offer a one-step cleaner and disinfectant.
These wipes are non-corrosive and non-flammable and are compatible with most equipment surfaces. With 95 wipes per canister, you will want to place these at every vaccination station so your employees can wipe down tables, chairs, and equipment in between appointments.
KN95 Respirator Face Masks – 24 Hour Rush Shipping
For medical professionals administering vaccines, KN95 is the gold standard. The immunization campaign involves 100’s of people moving through vaccination sites on a daily basis. A medical-grade mask is essential for the optimal protection of your workers. The KN95 mask filters particles that are 0.3 microns in size. Give your employees peace of mind as they do their part to restore health to America.
These KN95 masks are constructed of strong yet lightweight full mesh nylon, are highly breathable, and fit most face shapes. Your employees will appreciate the tip-shaped hanging ear design of this mask that prevents slippage. A tight fit is a must when working in high-traffic areas like inoculation centers.
The masks are latex-free and therefore safe for employees with allergies or sensitivities. The reusability of these masks makes them a sustainable choice too. Your employee can adjust the silicone nose clip to their own personal taste and comfort, adding a further element of control over their environment. The clip has the added benefit of preventing glasses from fogging up.
Alcohol Prep Pad Swabs – 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
No one likes getting needles, and as millions of Americans prepare to get the jab, collective nerves are bound to be a bit frayed. Arm your employees with non-woven alcohol prep pad swabs made with 70% Isopropyl alcohol so they can prep the recipient’s skin before delivering their vaccination. Any time a needle breaks the skin, proper cleaning is essential to help prevent infection-causing bacteria from entering the body.
Custom Sanitizer Station – Sanitizer Not Included
Sanitizing stations are commonplace in our COVID-19 reality. Protect your employees and keep your vaccination site clean by installing custom sanitizer stations for everyone entering your site. This station holds 40 oz of gel hand sanitizer and includes a built-in shield for maximum protection and cleanliness of your vaccination site.
This station is touchless and handsfree— essential features when dealing with mass immunizations. This easy-to-assemble product stands 59” tall and takes 4C batteries. These stations have a large imprint area to display your logo on a full-color print 5.5” x 7” laminated card. Sanitizer and batteries are not included.
Custom-Printed White Bandages
America needs some good news, and these custom-printed bandages are a great way to spread a message of much-needed hope. The white background provides the perfect setting for your personalized message. Better yet, a second color can be added at no additional cost. These bandages offer a unique way to show your brand while promoting being vaccinated. Custom wrappers are also available.
Custom 2″ Circle Label
These fun circle labels provide an excellent way to broadcast your message. Available in 6 bright colors, they offer ample space to spread the word—for example, “I got the shot.” By encouraging anyone who has received their vaccine to affix this label in a high-profile place, they can help boost America’s immunization efforts, draw attention to the vaccine movement and heal our country. Your employee can keep these friendly labels at their stations and offer them as a parting gesture. Color options include gold, green, orange, pink, red, silver, and black. A shiny lamination version is also available.

Arm your employees with this Globalseagull infrared thermometer so they can test recipients as they enter the site. By ensuring that no one is running a fever, you will keep your site free from infection. This thermometer is both FDA and CE-certified (FDA Regulation Class 1). Because your employee needs only to apply it to the forehead, it removes the need for touch, upping its safety in your vaccination site.
This thermometer is medical-grade and requires just one easy trigger to activate. Your employees will appreciate its quick response time of just 1 second. The thermometer is a dual scale and can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit with ease. Batteries are not included.
Blue Disposable 3 Ply Face Masks – 24-48 Hour Rush Shipping
Masks are now standard in America and around the world. In fact, most of us carry around several different styles depending on our activity. But like forgetting car keys, people do, on occasion, forget to carry a mask. And when you’re operating a massive vaccination site, there’s no room for error. These blue disposable 3-ply face masks will provide the necessary protection for vaccine recipients who have forgotten theirs.
These light-weight masks offer 3 layers of protection and effectively filter out 95% of airborne particles. They come in a standard size that fits most adults, so they provide top-notch coverage of the nose, mouth, and chin.
