June 22 COVID-19 Update: Vaccines and Testing

While Utah County transmission rates of COVID-19 remain moderately high, our top priority is ensuring your health and safety.

   

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

While Utah County transmission rates of COVID-19 remain moderately high, our top priority is ensuring your health and safety. We encourage anyone in the UVU community who has not yet been vaccinated to take advantage of our free clinic. Students, staff, faculty, and their immediate households are welcome.

Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are available by appointment or on a walk-in basis.

Vaccine clinic

Science Building Atrium
Tuesday–Friday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Free COVID-19 rapid testing is also available throughout the summer by appointment or on a walk-in basis.  

Testing services for those not experiencing symptoms

Science Building Atrium
Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–2 p.m.

Testing services for those with symptoms

Parking Lot L10 (corner of 1200 West and 800 South)
Monday–Friday, 9 a.m–noon (UVU community only)
Wednesday, 2 p.m.–5 p.m. (community testing)

Please stay home if you are ill, and report COVID-19 exposure and cases.

We are pleased to see low numbers of transmission at UVU this summer but remain concerned about the transmission rates in Utah County. Data from the Utah Department of Health shows:

  • 97% of those who are becoming ill right now have not been vaccinated.
  • 99% of those who are currently hospitalized have not been vaccinated.

For your safety, we recommend that those who have not been fully vaccinated wear masks. Please do your best to protect yourself and others around you.

Sincerely,

Robin Ebmeyer
Director of UVU Emergency Management and Safety
