Medication Center Signage

Signs for Medication/Vaccination Centers		Signs for Health Care Centers
Medication centers and vaccination centers are opened during a public health emergency to dispense medicine to treat the effects of an illness or to vaccinate people to prevent them from contracting a communicable disease. Many people will move through the centers and the signs on this site will help move people through more quickly and efficiently. Signs can direct people through the process inside the center, help people find things like bathrooms or exits and answer questions they may have while in the center. Planning will help save crucial time during an emergency.		During a disease outbreak, temporary health care centers may be opened to care for the sick. The centers might also be opened during a natural disaster to treat the wounded. Some people who come to the centers will receive an assessment and be released with instructions for care. Others will require further care and will be treated for several hours or days at the health care center or a nearby hospital. Signs can help people check in and out of the centers, move people through efficiently and help the clinical areas run smoothly.
Emergency Communications Toolkit
The resources in the Emergency Communications Toolkit are intended to be used by public health and emergency response partners during an emergency. This toolkit was created to help with media and public information needs during a disease outbreak, natural disaster or other public health emergency. It contains templates, checklists and fact sheets that are designed to give you a head start when planning an emergency response. Resources for the public can be found on our Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response (PHEPR) site.
