Dear Huskies,
We are on track for a return to an in-person campus experience in the fall. Important to note: UW students will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before returning for autumn quarter.
Meanwhile, please remember – even with vaccines helping to turn the tide in the pandemic, our victories against COVID are hard-earned and can be fleeting. COVID is still widespread, and increasingly, hospitalized COVID-19 patients are young adults.
It is a critical time to keep up public health best practices, and to get vaccinated as soon as you’re able.

1. Health and Safety
With COVID-19 variants on the rise in Washington, vaccination is a key step in protecting your health and the health of everyone in our community. Here are two specific ways to get vaccinated:
- Pop-up Clinic Tomorrow: Walk in or make an appointment for the Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine pop-up clinic at the Alder Hall Commons this Thursday, May 6, from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
- The UW Medicine Montlake location on the south side of the Seattle campus is administering the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines:
- Make an appointment by visiting uwmedicine.org/schedulevaccine
- Make an appointment by calling (844) 520-8700
- Walk-in to the Montlake location between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., seven days a week. No appointment is necessary but wait times may vary.
If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing many things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic.
Nervous about getting the vaccine? Don’t believe the myths.
Behind the scenes: See how the Pfizer vaccine is made.

If you are currently experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, please stay home and follow the instructions for what to do if you feel sick.
