FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I am a UGA staff member. Is there someone at the University Health Center who can help me understand why I need to be vaccinated or, if so, which vaccine is best for me?

No. While the UHC is providing free vaccines to all eligible members of the campus community, it is not staffed to provide full services to the entire campus community—only students, who fund the UHC with their student fees. Faculty and staff should reach out to their local healthcare provider prior to the vaccine appointment to discuss the pros and cons of getting vaccinated. This enables the vaccination process to continue working smoothly and efficiently for everyone.

To find out more about the vaccines, watch this webinar, in which faculty from our own AU/UGA Medical Partnership answer common questions; consult our online FAQs; talk with your local medical provider; or contact the Department of Public Health. Once you have made your decision to be vaccinated, you may click here to schedule your free appointment at the UHC.  Walk-ups are not accepted.

Who is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at a location on UGA Campus?
Paid UGA faculty, staff, and students are eligible to receive the vaccine. This includes faculty, staff, and students at UGA’s extended campuses. In addition, faculty/staff/student dependents ages 16 and up, and active employees and currently enrolled students of other USG institutions are eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines at UHC.
Am I eligible for the COVID-19 booster vaccine?
To determine your eligibility for and recommended timing for a booster, please visit CDC: COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shots
Can I get the COVID-19 and flu vaccine at the same time?
Yes. If a patient is eligible, both influenza and COVID-19 vaccines can be administered at the same visit. If a patient is due for both vaccines, providers are encouraged to offer both vaccines at the same visit.
How do I make an appointment?
Students may make an appointment by using the UHC Patient Portal. Faculty, staff, and dependents should call 706-542-5575 to schedule an appointment.
I did not get my previous COVID vaccines at UHC. May I receive my second, third, or booster doses at UHC?

Yes. Please see “How do I make an appointment” above for more information on scheduling an appointment.

What is the cost for vaccination?
There is no out-of-pocket cost for COVID-19 vaccination. You will be asked to provide your insurance card so we can charge an administration fee. If you are uninsured or your insurance does not reimburse for the administration fee, you will not be billed.
