On-Campus COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics
The COVID Booster has been identified as an important way to help prevent spread of the Omicron variant of the COVID virus, along with testing and masking. The COVID vaccine and the vaccine booster is recommended for the entire campus community to reduce the risk of outbreaks on campus as we return for the Spring semester. If you are able to receive the booster prior to returning to campus, please don’t wait! To find a vaccine in your local area go to vaccines.gov.
Mansfield University along with UPMC Wellsboro will be providing a COVID vaccination clinic FREE for all students, staff and faculty on Monday, January 24 from 4 – 6 PM at the Kelchner Fitness Center.
UPMC will administer the Pfizer vaccine during the clinic and will be available to provide the booster dose for those eligible, or the first dose of the series if have not yet received it.
