Reporting Outside Positive COVID-19 Tests

If you tested positive outside of UC San Diego, students should send results to shsmr@ucsd.edu and employees should send results to COEMexposure@health.ucsd.edu. More info is available on the Return to Learn website.

Booster Appointments

Appointments for Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 bivalent vaccine boosters are available for all students and campus employees. If there is a contraindication to one of these mRNA vaccines, boosters with Johnson & Johnson can be provided by request.

International students and visiting scholars who have received the initial series of a WHO-approved vaccination are all eligible to receive an FDA-approved vaccination (Pfizer or Moderna).

The CDC has authorized a mix-and-match approach, so you can select which brand of booster vaccine you want while scheduling your appointment.

Additional Vaccine Booster for Students:

Note: At this time, a second booster dose is not required to remain compliant with the UC Vaccine Mandate.

  • Boosters are now open to all who are eligible.

Locations:

  • Drive-up appointment at La Jolla
  • Drive-up appointment at Hillcrest Medical Center
  • Recreation Gym (located between Main Gym and Tata Hall)

Scheduling Instructions: Students may schedule an appointment online.


Influenza, Tdap, and HPV Vaccines

These vaccines will be offered in mass clinics in the Fall & Winter Quarters and are by appointment only.

Self-scheduling is now live in MyStudentChart for our Flu, Tdap, and HPV Vaccine Clinics:

MyStudentChart > VISITS > SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT > SHS: FLU VACCINE (includes Tdap & HPV vaccines)

Location: Recreation Gym (located between Main Gym and Tata Hall)

Cost:

  • Influenza Vaccine — There is no cost for the flu vaccine for students.

If you received your influenza vaccine outside of UC San Diego, here is how you can attest in MyStudentChart: MyStudentChart > Menu > Preventative Care > Scroll to find the Influenza Vaccine > Click Mark as Complete > Enter the date you received the vaccine and Accept > Vaccine is then marked as completed (You may need to refresh your browser to see this).

Students may also complete the Declination form on the Return to Learn website. Individuals who choose to decline will be required to wear masks or face coverings at UC locations through the end of the flu season, even if COVID-19 requirements are loosened.

To check if you have completed the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, go to:
