About Vaccinations

Widespread vaccination, along with following health and safety guidelines, is the best way to control the COVID-19 pandemic. In the interest of public health, however, COVID-19 vaccination is strongly recommended.

Each University vaccination event will offer vaccines, subject to availability:

• Two-dose Pfizer vaccine (2^nd dose to be administered 21 days later).
• If you have questions about this risk, please speak with your healthcare provider before receiving the vaccine.

The FDA has approved COVID-19 vaccines for those ages 18 and older.

Review the CDC’s information about COVID-19 vaccines.
