Why get a COVID-19 vaccine?
The top reason to get a vaccination is to protect yourself, your family and your community.

- You won’t have to participate in most COVID-19 testing next fall.
- You can gather with other fully vaccinated people without wearing masks or socially distancing.
- You can enjoy a more “normal” campus life.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights what activities are safe for those who are fully vaccinated.
