Over the past few months, we have been able to offer vaccination appointments to every eligible DU faculty or staff member working on campus this spring. Given the state’s transition to the “general population” phase, we will now implement a strategy to support vaccination of DU students, faculty and staff not yet vaccinated, alongside outreach to community partners to support equitable access to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Thus far, we have focused our attention on eligible faculty and staff, particularly those working on campus. As a next, important step in our strategy to combat COVID-19, we want students living and studying on campus to receive the vaccine in the spring term.

For the rest of the spring term, we intend to extend most of our vaccine appointments to students, while continuing to offer vaccine appointments to faculty and staff. Faculty and staff who have indicated they would like to receive the vaccine on campus will receive invitations through a lottery process. Of course, if you are able to get a vaccine elsewhere, we encourage you to do so.

Please fill out this form. We welcome your willingness to serve. Note that volunteers, however, will likely not be receiving a vaccine. Occasionally, volunteers can be vaccinated at the end of the day. 

No. We have a wait list of individuals who will be vaccinated and cannot add anymore at this time. Please do not turn up without an appointment and in hopes of unused vaccine.

We recognize that the current situation is stressful and that the uncertainty about vaccine access and timing is very challenging. We are working hard to increase vaccination access to DU personnel. We will continue to engage with city and state officials and to work in partnership with National Jewish Health as vaccine availability and distribution remains very fluid.

For now, please keep showing up for your scheduled COVID tests and take the proper precautions--wear your face covering, practice good hand hygiene and maintain social distancing. 

Please be aware that vaccine availability continues to be somewhat unpredictable and we are not always informed about how many vaccines will be available until close to each event we co-host with National Jewish Health. Please be patient with us as we now work with the Vaccination Working Group to establish the timing and protocols for a wider distribution of vaccines to our own community members. We will share more about this process as soon as we are able. We continue to urge you to work with your health care provider or any other available vaccine resource.
