FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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.
