Through the partnership with the Florida Department of Health, USF Is beginning to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to specific USF student groups.
St. Petersburg residential students were notified via email today that they are eligible to receive the vaccine.
According to the email, vaccine availability is limited and appointments are required. To be able to receive an appointment, select USF students must complete a survey.
Students who already received the first dose of the vaccine elsewhere are told to not fill the survey.
The vaccine will be administered on the St. Petersburg campus. Additional information will be given once an appointment is assigned.
According to the email, the university is encouraging, but not requiring, vaccinations.
