Campus vaccine clinics begin this week
Campus partners including Heritage College Community Health Programs, the College of Health Sciences and Professions, the School of Nursing, the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, OHIO COVID Operations, OhioHealth Campus Care, and the Athens City-County Health Department have collaborated to provide a calendar of nearly 20 walk-in clinics for COVID-19 vaccines this fall semester. Additionally, students may schedule individual vaccine appointments at OhioHealth Campus Care.
The University strongly encourages all students, faculty and staff to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible. The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at preventing severe sickness, hospitalization, and death, including from the Delta variant. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself, and the best way to protect our Bobcat community.
All three COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. have been thoroughly tested and found to be safe in preventing severe COVID-19.
The COVID-19 vaccines were developed using science that has been around for decades and have undergone the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history.
COVID-19 vaccines are available for everyone in the United States at no cost, regardless of insurance or immigration status.
