Dear undergraduate, graduate, and professional students,
As the semester is winding down and many are ready for summer to begin, we want to take this opportunity to encourage you, if you already haven’t gotten a COVID-19 vaccine, to get one now as appointments and vaccines are more widely available. We are strongly advising anyone still on campus to get a vaccine with us before traveling home, it's important to ensure both your own protection and those around you. Plus, if you are planning to travel, be aware that many border controls will be requiring vaccination for entry.
COVID-19 vaccine appointments available on campus
UHS has appointments open to all students at the Pauley Ballroom over the next two weeks. There are no costs to students.
- Vaccine Clinics on May 5, 6, 12 and 13 either schedule an appointment on eTang or drop-in (drop-in hours 9-11 and 1-3).
- Single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine: mildest side effects, and protection in two weeks.

Got your vaccine already? Upload your records in eTang
Don't forget to update your outside vaccine records to eTang. Taking action now to upload records will help as we plan for the return to more in-person activities campus. If you got a vaccine at UHS you do not need to upload records.

Receiving a vaccine for the virus that causes COVID-19 is THE key step people can take to protect themselves, their friends and family, and our campus communities while helping bring the pandemic to an end... and us back together!
