Make sure to get your shot before you leave town! If you still need a vaccine, the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine is available on campus next week at the Tad Pad. Make an appointment here for one of these times:
Tuesday, Apr. 13, 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Thursday, Apr. 15, 1:30-4:30.p.m.
Which vaccine and when to get it:
Johnson & Johnson: Single-dose and easily the most convenient. Register for an on-campus vaccination appointment here so you can be over any side effects before finals. Sometimes Oxford Rx Pharmacy also has doses of J&J.
Pfizer: Right now is the sweet spot to get a first dose of Pfizer. 21 days from today is April 29, which is after most finals and before graduation, if you do have a day or so of side effects. Kroger Pharmacy in Oxford has recently had Pfizer.
Moderna: If you can get a first dose of Moderna now, you won’t get your second dose until after finals, which means you can just stay in Oxford just a little bit longer!
Every shot counts! You can really make a difference by getting vaccinated and helping everyone get back to the things we love. UM’s vaccination page has more info about off-campus vaccination appointments.
