Immunization Services During COVID-19

At this time, immunization services are by appointment only.  

• Flu vaccine appointments can be scheduled by phone or online through our Web Portal. 
• For all other vaccines, please call MCV clinic at 804-828-9220 and Monroe Park at 804-827-8047 to schedule an appointment.

Free Flu Vaccines

Student Health is now offering free flu shots to ALL students.

• Appointments are required and may be scheduled via the Web Portal or by phone.  Students can also request the flu vaccine during a scheduled medical appointment.
• The flu vaccine is effective and does not cause the flu.  All students are encouraged to complete the flu vaccine, especially those at high-risk for complications (eg. those with asthma, diabetes, HIV, etc.).  The flu vaccine is also an annual requirement for Health Sciences students.

COVID-19 Vaccines

Student Health strongly encourages students to be up-to-date with their COVID vaccination.  Vaccines provide protection against severe infections, COVID hospitalizations, and complications, such as long COVID.  Vaccination also helps to protect others, especially the most vulnerable members of our community.

The updated 2023 COVID-19 booster is now available in the community.  Contact your local pharmacy or search www.vaccines.gov to find vaccine near you.

• You are eligible to receive the COVID-19 booster if it has been at least 2 months since you completed your primary COVID-19 vaccine series or booster dose(s).  If you are recovering from COVID-19, you are advised to wait until you are released from isolation and symptoms have completely resolved before getting vaccinated.  If you are a COVID-19 contact, please wait until it has been at least 10 days since the last exposure to get vaccinated.
• Please bring your COVID-19 vaccine card to your appointment.  It's a good idea to take a photo of both sides of your vaccine card for back-up.  If you've lost your card and don't have photos, you can look up your vaccine record at www.vaccinate.virginia.gov or through your state health department’s immunization information system.  You can also contact 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-823-4628) for assistance.

Gardasil (HPV) Vaccines

The human papillomavirus or HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection.  HPV infections can lead to genital warts or certain cancers, including cervical cancer and anal cancer.  Protect yourself by completing the Gardasil (HPV) vaccine series (3 shots over 6 months).  Find out if you are eligible for free or discounted Gardasil vaccine by asking your provider during a clinic visit, scheduling an immunization appointment, or calling our Immunizations Department at 804-827-8047.

Accessing the Web Portal

Students are encouraged to use the Student Health Web Portal to submit vaccine records.

If you receive an error message when logging into the Portal, please allow up to 1-3 business days after accepting your offer of admission to log in.  Student Health receives your information from Records and Registration, so you will need to be assigned a V# and eID in order to access the Web Portal. 

Many error messages are due to improper file format or size.  Please ensure your file is in PDF or JPEG format and no more than 5 MB in size.

If you continue to have problems using the Portal, contact Student Health Immunizations at 804-827-8047.

Need A Copy of Your Immunization Record?

Students who have submitted a copy of their vaccine records to Student Health may view and/or print their records and vaccine titers at their convenience through the Student Health Web Portal.  Go to the "My Profile" tab, then choose "Immun. History".
