Ohio University
Students, faculty, staff, and community members can get a free COVID-19 vaccine at a walk-in clinic on campus from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 14.
No appointment is necessary. The clinic, hosted by the Athens City-County Health Department, will be held at Heritage Hall on Union Street.
Attendees can choose to receive a first or second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, or the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Those getting a first dose of Pfizer will need to get a second dose approximately 21 days later.
Those OHIO students, faculty, and staff who are fully vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination do not have to participate in asymptomatic testing as part of the COVID-19 Testing Pathway Program. Ohio University encourages all employees to be vaccinated if they are able, though it is not required.
Ohio University provides important update on Johnson & Johnson vaccine distribution Published: April 13, 2021 Author: Staff reports
Pfizer vaccine will be distributed at clinics on Athens campus
The following message was shared with the OHIO community on April 13, 2021.
This morning we learned – along with the rest of the nation – that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have announced a pause in distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine out of an abundance of caution after identification of a rare and severe blood-clotting disorder. These symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination and occurred in only six individuals out of the more than six million people who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in the U.S.
