Get the COVID-19 vaccine on campus

You won’t have to go far to find a COVID-19 vaccination clinic this fall. UVic has partnered with Island Health to host vaccination clinics on campus for students, staff and faculty to help keep our community safe.

Pop-up clinics on campus

The university is hosting pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinics during the first two weeks of term. Located in convenient spots around campus, the pop-up clinics are open to students, staff and faculty aged 12+ (born 2009 or early) who need their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. No appointments are necessary.

What to bring

• Your personal health number
• If you’re coming for your second shot please bring your vaccine card (given to you with your first dose)
• Short sleeved shirt (there will be privacy screens).

Indigenous students, staff, and faculty

Indigenous students, staff and faculty are welcome to get their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at a drop in clinic at the First Peoples House on Sept. 16, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Vaccination appointments for students

All UVic students currently enrolled in a degree program can make an appointment to get the COVID-19 vaccine at the Student Wellness Centre. Appointments are available starting September 14.
