COVID-19 vaccines for UI students and employees

Published on May 5, 2021

Students

The American College Health Association recommends students get vaccinated as soon as possible.

To sign up for your vaccination, visit the Student Health website, where you can view the vaccine schedule. When you sign in to MyUI, you should choose to schedule on a day that Student Health is providing the vaccine you wish to receive. Student Health is currently offering single-dose Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine and the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

Reminder: Student Health can also provide a second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to students regardless of where they received their first dose. Doses must still be three weeks apart, but this gives you more flexibility and may be more convenient. If you need a second dose of Moderna, please call Student Health at 319-335-9704.

If you want to get your first dose on campus through Student Health and your second dose elsewhere, you should check with a provider in your home county and state to ensure availability. Then get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Employees

You are now able to schedule your first COVID-19 vaccination appointment with the University Employee Health Clinic by emailing employee-health@uiowa.edu or calling 319-356-3631, Option 3.

If you receive your vaccine elsewhere prior to your scheduled appointment, or need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, contact the University Employee Health Clinic.

For more information, please visit the COVID-19 hub for vaccine information on The Loop.

We urge you to get vaccinated as soon as you can.
