How to Get a Vaccine

All Utahns 12 and older can now schedule appointments to get a free COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 vaccines are an important part of controlling spread of the virus and ending the pandemic. USU encourages anyone who is able to be vaccinated to do so.

USU will be holding vaccine clinics on the Logan campus. Walk-ins are welcome, or you can pre-register:
Wednesday, Sept. 15, 1-4 p.m. at Eccles Conference Center - Pre-registration
Thursday, Sept. 23, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at Aggie Recreation Center (Aggie Wellness Fair) - Pre-registration

Vaccine Safety & Effectiveness

The U.S. has multiple vaccines available that were developed quickly, and many people have questions about how safe or effective they are. It’s important to identify credible sources of vaccine information, such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) or your state and local health departments.

To learn more about COVID-19 vaccinations, please visit the COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution website maintained by the Utah Department of Health. We also encourage you to consult with your medical provider about receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and to carefully review any information provided by vaccine distributors.

These resources may help answer some questions.

After You're Vaccinated

As more people receive COVID-19 vaccines, the CDC has shared reminders that it typically takes a few weeks for bodies to build immunity after vaccinations, and that it’s important to take all recommended precautions for protecting yourself and others.

Continue wearing masks and social distancing—these guidelines remain in place for all USU students and employees until further guidance is released by the CDC or local health departments.

USU Students & Employees

If you've received a complete round of vaccinations (either one or two shots, depending on the vaccine), please upload your proof of vaccination at aggiehealth.usu.edu to assist with USU's case containment efforts.

Vaccine FAQ

How much does the vaccine cost?

The COVID-19 vaccine is free at any vaccination location in Utah. If you have insurance, your insurance company may be charged a small administrative fee. But there will be no out-of-pocket cost to you.

If I am an out-of-state or international student, am I eligible to be vaccinated in Utah?

Yes, you only need a Utah address to be able to get vaccinated in the state. Your in-state residency or immigration status does not affect your eligibility.
