IMPORTANT: You need to plan ahead to be sure you are fully vaccinated:
- For all 3 Covid vaccines, you are FULLY VACCINATED A FULL 2 WEEKS AFTER your last shot.
- Vaccines that are given in 2 shots require 3-4 weeks IN BETWEEN your 1st and 2nd shot: 3 weeks for Pfizer, 4 weeks for Moderna. And then you are FULLY vaccinated 2 weeks AFTER your second shot!
- If you haven’t gotten your first or second shot, you need to do it NOW! Locate a vaccine near you – see below.
STUDENTS: You MUST be vaccinated! Please use the form on Trinity’s website here to provide proof of full vaccination by submitting your information and an image of your vaccine card.
