You MUST bring your vaccine card you received during your first dose of the vaccine if this is your second dose.
(And don’t forget your mask!)

After you check in to the event, follow directional signage to the student gym.
Half of the student gym will be used for vaccinations, and the other half of the gym will have spaced seating for 15-minute post-vaccination observation.
What can I expect?
All campus guidelines will be followed during this event. You will need to wear a face covering, and if lines begin to form, please keep six feet between yourself and others.
