Appointments are available at three campus clinics Campus Center, Lower Level, South ABC, 326 Penn St. at Rutgers-Camden; Stonsby Commons, 91 Bleeker St. at Rutgers-Newark and the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, 160 Frelinghuysen Road at Rutgers-New Brunswick’s Piscataway campus. The safety of our campus community remains our highest priority, said Antonio Calcado, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Rutgers. Vaccinating students on our campuses gets us another step closer to ending this public health crisis, providing a safe environment in the fall, and the opportunity for students to get the college experience again. We are proud to be able to increase vaccine access throughout our Rutgers community.
The vaccine clinics will help facilitate a safe fall 2021 return to campus
Jordan Clarida, a sophomore majoring in public health, traveled to Rutgers on Wednesday to become the first student vaccinated at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy because she wanted to be part of the movement that ends the pandemic and saves lives.
“Having the vaccine available here was the easiest way for me to receive it,” said the Bound Brook, NJ resident, a student in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. She registered along with her twin sister, Taylor, who is also a Rutgers student, to receive their COVID-19 vaccines on the first day the university opened clinics for students, faculty and staff at its New Brunswick, Newark and Camden campuses to aid in the state’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
