This vaccine event will be open to eligible individuals 18 or older regardless of affiliation to Elon University. Students are encouraged to schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
You may also share this vaccine information with any eligible individual 18 or older who may still need a vaccine.

- Tuesday, April 6

Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time and wear a short-sleeved shirt so the vaccinator can easily access the vaccine site. You must sit for at least 15 minutes following your appointment. You should eat and be well-hydrated prior to attending your appointment.
Where will the clinic be held?
