On Saturday, May 15, the University will hold a clinic from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Caldwell Fieldhouse to distribute 40 remaining doses of the single-dose Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine. No appointments will be scheduled for that clinic, which is open to walk-ins from the public. Janssen clinics are held in partnership with the Princeton Department of Health.

The University encourages all students, faculty and staff to get vaccinated. As soon as students are vaccinated, they must upload their COVID-19 vaccine record into their MyUHS portal. Employees who are vaccinated should upload their information in VacStatus.

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled or otherwise present on campus during the 2021-22 academic year are required to receive, and to provide proof of having received, a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The University has not yet decided whether to require faculty, staff and others working or otherwise present on campus during the 2021-22 academic year to provide proof of having received an authorized vaccine.
