UM Memo-Important
Faculty and staff are encouraged to get vaccinated.
Free, safe and effective vaccines are available on and off campus!
With the semester starting in less than a month, now is a great time to protect yourself and your family by getting vaccinated.
Why get vaccinated? Getting vaccinated lowers your risk of getting COVID by 91% (CDC) and breakthrough infections (getting infected after being vaccinated) are rare (CDC).
You can get a free Johnson & Johnson vaccine at the University Health Center. Walk in anytime between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to ask for a vaccine – no appointment necessary.
Off-campus vaccination sites that may offer different vaccine types are at this webpage under “Off-campus vaccination sites.”
If you have questions about the vaccine or about your personal health, please reach out to your primary care physician or to Employee Health at 662-915-6550. For other questions, please email c19@olemiss.edu.
If you’ve been exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms, you may schedule a test at the UM Health Center. Please see this list of clinics around Oxford and area county health departments that also offer COVID-19 testing: coronavirus.olemiss.edu/where-can-i-get-tested-in-oxford.
