Increasing the comfort of vaccine delivery at school is needed to improve the immunization experience for students. We created the CARDTM (C-Comfort, A-Ask, R-Relax and D-Distract) system to address this clinical care gap. Originally designed for grade 7 students, this study examined the perceptions of grade 9 students of CARDTM. Grade 9 students who had experience with school-based immunizations, either as recipients or onlookers ( n = 7; 100% females 14 years old) participated. Students answered pre-post surveys, reviewed CARDTM educational materials and participated in a semi-structured focus group discussion. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) was used as the framework for analysis of qualitative data. Participants reported positive perceptions of CARDTM educational materials and that CARDTM could fit into the school immunization process. CARDTM improved knowledge about effective coping interventions and was recommended for education of both nurses and students. The results provide preliminary evidence that CARDTM is acceptable and appropriate for implementation in grade 9 school-based immunizations
