Safe, effective vaccines, along with mask-wearing and social distancing, is our best protection against the spread of COVID and can help us return to normal as quickly as possible. We encourage you to learn more about the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines and make an informed decision about which vaccine is right for you by reading more about the different vaccines available.
Students, faculty and staff also have the option of getting their COVID vaccine at any off-campus provider. To find an alternate convenient vaccine location near you, visit myspot.nc.gov.
