WEEKLY TIP
Vaccines are now widely available in Minnesota and all Gustavus students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to get vaccinated. Visit the Gustavus Vaccine Resources webpage to learn more and follow links to schedule your vaccine today.
If you are vaccinated in Minnesota, the Gustavus Health Service will automatically receive record of your vaccination through the state’s secure immunization records database. If you receive your vaccine somewhere besides Minnesota and want to upload your vaccination status, or if you’re vaccinated in Minnesota and want to be sure the record was received, please visit the Gustavus Health Portal.
The College is excited to share that based on the data available through the Minnesota Immunization Information Center, at least 68% of students and 81% of employees are already partially or fully vaccinated against COVID–19. Keep up the good work, Gusties!
