Subject: March 24 Deadline - Submit Your COVID Booster to Be Able to Register for Summer/Fall Classes
Dear Seawolves,
Our records indicate that you are eligible to receive the COVID booster, but as of today, you have not submitted your COVID booster information to the Wolfie Health Portal. As a reminder,
per New York State’s mandate, if you are living on campus, enrolled in at least one in-person class, or accessing in-person services or facilities at any Stony Brook campus, you are required to obtain a COVID vaccine booster as soon as you are eligible.
If you do not submit proof of your booster vaccine by Thursday, March 24, you will receive a registration hold, which means you will not be able to register for Summer or Fall 2022 classes.
Who is eligible for a COVID vaccine booster?
Per CDC guidelines, you are eligible to receive a COVID vaccine booster:
- If you received a second dose of Pfizer or Moderna at least 5 months ago.
- If you received one dose of J&J or other single dose vaccine at least 2 months ago.
- If you received the recommended doses of a World Health Organization emergency use listing (WHO-EUL) COVID-19 vaccine at least 5 months ago.
- If you received a mix and match series composed of any combination of FDA-approved, FDA-authorized, or WHO-EUL COVID-19 vaccines at least 5 months ago.
To check your eligibility, refer to this booster eligibility calculator.
