91直播

An on-campus clinic is scheduled for Dec. 8

An on-campus clinic will bring COVID-19 vaccine boosters to 91直播 in early December.

The University announced it has partnered with Walmart Pharmacy to host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Treetops Caf茅 on South Campus, making COVID-19 boosters available to La 91直播 students, faculty, staff, and Christian Brothers on Wednesday, Dec. 8. .

Any member of the University community can receive a COVID-19 booster, according to a campus message from Vice President of Human Resources Kristin Heasley and Assistant Vice President of Student Wellness R. Scott Cook, DO.

Eligibility depends upon one鈥檚 completion of the COVID-19 vaccine series. For example, you can receive a booster if you completed the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna series on or before June 8 or received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on or before Oct. 8. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has .)

Heasley and Cook noted two important points for the La 91直播 community.

鈥淭丑别 as a safe and effective measure,鈥� the message stated. 鈥淭his means you can receive a booster that differs from the vaccine type you originally received.鈥�

鈥淲hile La 91直播 does not currently require a COVID-19 booster dose, boosters provide additional protection against COVID-19. They strengthen your protection against severe illness and protect high-risk populations.鈥�

This isn鈥檛 the first time La 91直播 has made COVID-19 vaccines available to the University community.

La 91直播 previously worked with Walmart Pharmacy to host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in May. That clinic provided nearly 1,000 doses to La 91直播鈥檚 students, faculty, staff, and Christian Brothers, as well as members of the Northwest Philadelphia community.

鈥淲idespread vaccination supports widespread immunity,鈥� Cook said. 鈥淟et鈥檚 continue to #VaxUpLa91直播. Help keep our campus, families, and neighbors as safe as possible.鈥�
