Dear Faculty and Staff Members,
CHWS is offering a COVID-19 Booster vaccine clinic on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 from 1:20 p.m. to 4:20 p.m. in the Rotunda in Wheelock Student Center for faculty and staff who have received the primary COVID-19 vaccine series.
A primary COVID-19 vaccine series is two shots of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer/Comirnaty or Moderna) or one shot of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
- If you received an mRNA primary series, you should wait at least six months before getting a booster.
- If you received the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine, you should get a booster two months after your primary dose.
- You can read more about the CDC guidelines for boosters here.
At this booster clinic, participants will receive a booster dose of an mRNA vaccine, Moderna. The Moderna booster is offered free of charge. You must bring your original vaccine card, or proof of your prior vaccine, and a photo ID. Please wear comfortable clothing and a short-sleeve shirt. After you receive your booster shot, you will be required to remain in the observation area for 15 minutes. Please plan accordingly.

You may drop off a completed saliva test upstairs in Wheelock, or do walk-through testing in the Rotunda from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday–Thursday, Nov. 29–Dec. 2.
Please note that our COVID-19 Dashboard is updated every Monday. Please refer to the dashboard for the most up to date information related to COVID-19 cases on campus and our current risk threshold.
