COVID-19 Surveillance Testing Appointments: Week of April 12

Attention NJCU Community:

NJCU is utilizing a targeted testing approach based on the risk of transmission of COVID-19 within the university community to identify those who may have COVID but are asymptomatic. This method is known as surveillance testing.

Surveillance tests will be available during the week of April 12, 2021 with on-campus appointments for any member of the campus community (faculty, staff, or students) with an NJCU ID.

There are eight (8) time slots available beginning at 10 a.m. from which to choose with up to 15 different appointments available. You must sign up in advance.

Dates of Testing, Week of April 12:

Tuesday, April 13 — Gilligan Student Union Building 127
Thursday, April 15 — Gilligan Student Union Building 127

All Higher Education Employees Now Eligible for COVID-19 Vaccinations

As previously announced last week, we were pleased that the State of New Jersey has expanded eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines. As many of you know, as of April 5, all higher education employees are eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, including faculty and staff, as part of the Phase 1C of the vaccination rollout.

NJCU employees who have yet to be vaccinated are strongly encouraged to register. To assist NJCU employees with access to vaccinations, the University has partnered with the North Hudson Community Action Corporation (NHCAC) to administer COVID-19 vaccinations on behalf of our institution.

Contributing to our partnership with NHCAC to administer vaccines will be students, faculty, and staff from NJCU’s nationally-ranked nursing program. Their willingness to join the frontline efforts to help our community prevail over this pandemic is inspiring to all of us. Our partnership with NHCAC will facilitate direct and priority access to vaccines to our entire campus community (as noted below). Of course, employees are encouraged to secure individual appointments for any vaccination available to them should another more convenient vaccine option be available. NJCU’s partnership with NHCAC is simply an additional option for us.

The two-dose Moderna COVID-19 vaccine will be administered at the locations, dates and times listed below. The second dose will be scheduled at the time of your first vaccine. If interested, please complete the COVID-19 vaccination interest form that is linked here. Within 24-hours, you will receive an email to your NJCU account with vaccination registration information and next steps.

With the vaccine becoming readily available to our NJCU community, we are one step closer to returning to pre-pandemic staffing schedules.
