COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States are effective at protecting people from getting seriously ill, being hospitalized, and dying. As with other diseases, you are protected best from COVID-19 when you stay up to date with the recommended vaccines, including recommended boosters. CCSU will be partnering with the Department of Public Health and Griffin Health to provide free COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics throughout the semester open to Faculty, Staff, Students, Family and Friends 12 and up.
The newest boosters are now available! Updated COVID-19 boosters can both help restore protection that has decreased since previous vaccination and provide broader protection against newer variants. The updated, or bivalent boosters, target the most recent Omicron subvariants, BA.4 and BA.5, that are more contagious and more resistant than earlier strains of Omicron.
The Pfizer-BioNTech Bivalent and Moderna Bivalent boosters will be offered at the vaccination clinics here on campus (based on availability). Primary series (1st and 2nd doses) of Pfizer and Moderna are still available for those wishing to start their vaccinations and must be completed before receiving the newest bivalent booster.
Who Is Eligible?
- Anyone (12 years of age or older for Pfizer-BioNTech and 18 years of age or older for Moderna bivalent boosters) if it has been at least two months since they have completed primary vaccination (dose 1 and 2) or have received a booster (dose 3 or 4) with any approved monovalent COVID-19 vaccine.
Be sure to bring your insurance card, photo ID, and proof of vaccination (original card or photo of original front and back) to receive the booster.
Check the schedule list for future clinic dates. More dates are being added all the time.
