Who is eligible for booster shots?
Examples of eligible candidates:
- If you are 18+ and received your Pfizer or Moderna vaccination series (both shots) at least six months ago and live or work in a high-risk setting, which includes education staff and schools.
- If you are 18+ and received your Johnson & Johnson vaccine two or more months ago.
If you received your second dose after May 9, then you will not be eligible for your booster yet.
Which booster shot is right for me?
Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive for their booster dose, as the CDC recommendations have now expanded to allow mix and match dosing for booster shots. This means you can choose any of the vaccine manufacturers for your booster shot, regardless of what you received for your initial vaccine. Consult with your medical provider if you have any questions about the best option for you.
Where can I get my booster shot?
SHS will be providing COVID-19 Moderna booster shots for all eligible students, faculty, and staff on Saturday, November 13 from 12 – 3 p.m. in the Audubon Room of the Danna Student Center. Flu shots will also be available if you haven’t had the chance to get one yet. Make sure to
book an appointment for your COVID-19 shot ahead of time! You will receive a confirmation email with a link for the
required forms you must complete through the Loyola Public Health Portal prior to your appointment. Students who get their boosters in SHS are also eligible to receive a $100 Visa Gift Card from the
Shot For 100 program (if you haven’t already gotten a gift card).
Tulane's vaccine clinic on the uptown campus is also providing appointments to Loyola students, faculty, and staff eligible to get their COVID-19 Pfizer booster shot. Students can
book an appointment here. Instructions will be emailed upon booking for registration and consent forms. All forms should be completed and brought to the scheduled appointment. Students must present their white CDC vaccine card or LA wallet app to show proof of vaccination at the appointment.
Booster vaccines are also available at many area pharmacies. If you would like to receive another type of manufacturer, Loyola’s
vaccine page has a link to local vaccine sites and NOLA Ready hosts regular
community vaccine events.
Do I need to let Loyola know when I get my booster shot?
