COVID-19 Updates

UP has updated its COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for the 2022-2023 academic year. The deadline to upload your COVID-19 vaccination record (including booster dose), or exemption form is August 15, 2022. Visit our Vaccine Compliance page for more information.

Looking for a COVID booster? Visit Vaccines.gov to find an off-campus vaccination site. The Health Center is planning to offer the updated booster on campus; watch your UP email for announcements!

On 9/1/2022, the FDA authorized updated Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 bivalent boosters. Bivalent boosters provide better protection against the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 variants. You can get the single booster dose at least two months after your primary series or most recent booster.

Confidentiality Statement

The Health and Counseling staff value our ability to provide students with a safe and confidential place to seek help. Therefore, we will not disclose student information to parents, friends, coaching staff, or faculty unless we have signed release from the student.
