Booster Shots

Booster shots provide additional protection against COVID-19 and help to strengthen protection against severe disease or the complications from severe illness.

Individuals who received a Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine are eligible for a booster shot at five months or more after their initial series. Those who received the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, are eligible at two or more months after the first dose.

Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may prefer the vaccine type that they originally received while others may prefer to get a different booster. The CDC recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.

Incentives

The Shot For 100 incentive is available for the COVID-19 vaccine. Faculty and staff are eligible to receive the incentive with their first dose of the vaccine. Students may receive the incentive with their first dose, second dose, or booster.

Cost

The COVID-19 vaccine and booster shot are available free to all.

Flu Vaccines

The Student Health Center is offering Fluarix, the quadrivalent flu vaccine, to all students, faculty, and staff, while supplies last.

Cost

The flu vaccine is typically covered in full by health insurance. However, if that is not the case or if individuals choose not to file with their plan, the cost is $15 for students and $25 for faculty and staff.
