The University plans to host a Pfizer only ‘family vaccination clinic’ today (May 12) from 4-7 p.m. at the Student Rec Center in the upper gym.
Minors (12-15 years old) of WVU employees will be eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine pending a vote and approval by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Walk ins are welcome, and doses will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis.
We strongly urge those who have concerns to speak to a health care provider to learn more about the vaccine. Medical professionals will be available at the clinic to address questions.
And a reminder, WVU has launched a COVID-19 Vaccine Verification System for students, faculty and staff. All students, faculty and staff who have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 must verify their vaccination with the University by Aug. 1. Those who do not complete the verification process will be considered unvaccinated this fall.
Employees and students can access the Vaccine Verification System and complete the acknowledgement form via StarRez (WVU’s housing portal): myhousing.wvu.edu. View full instructions on the Return to Campus website. There will be a page that shows the current vaccination rate of the campus community. The page will be updated every Tuesday.
The University will continue to partner with the state to offer COVID-19 vaccines on campus throughout the summer.
