GC Forward #16: Student Booster Deadline 3/1

Dear Graduate Center community,

This GC Forward has important information about student booster requirements, the return of the Vax Van, and how to get answers to your questions about COVID-19 policies and procedures.

Student Booster Deadline Is March 1
Tuesday, March 1, is the deadline for students to upload proof of receiving a COVID-19 booster shot to CUNYfirst. This applies to all students who became eligible for a booster by January 28.

All other students have 30 days from the date of their eligibility to provide proof of receiving a COVID-19 booster shot to CUNYfirst.

Students who miss the deadline will not be able to register for Summer 2022 or Fall 2022 classes. (The hold will be lifted once a student uploads proof of receiving a COVID-19 booster shot to CUNYfirst, and it is approved.)

Thank you to all the students who already uploaded proof of their COVID-19 booster shots!

The Vax Van Returns on March 1
The Graduate Center welcomes the return of the NYC Health and Hospitals Vax Van. It will be parked adjacent to the Graduate Center Tuesday, March 1, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. All doses of the Pfizer vaccine will be available. Walk-ups only. No appointments.

Also, check out these other free COVID-19 vaccination sites in New York City and New York State.
