Press release from the University of Alaska Anchorage:

April 9, 2021

Get vaccinated against COVID-19 with a single appointment! Johnson and Johnson's one-dose COVID-19 vaccine is available for UAA students and employees by appointment
on Friday, April 16. Call 907-786-4050 to schedule your appointment.

UAA's Student Health and Counseling Center will announce additional by-appointment
vaccination clinics in the coming weeks.

Please note: You must be 18 years or older to receive the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. At this
time, only the Pfizer vaccine is approved for use in those under 18 years old. See
below for additional vaccination options.

We encourage you to get vaccinated!

On March 9, Gov. Dunleavy announced the state had broadened eligibility to include
all Alaskans age 16 and over. Alaska is the first state in the nation to make vaccination
available to all members of the public.

For more information about other local vaccine providers, please review recent communications from the UA statewide office. Please remember that until more people in our state
are vaccinated, it's important to continue practicing COVID-19 safety measures: Wear
a mask, avoid gatherings of people outside your household, stay 6 feet away from others
and wash your hands frequently. Remaining vigilant now will allow all of us to be
together in person sooner.

For more information about COVID-19 vaccination in Alaska, visit the State of Alaska’s vaccine website. You can also find university-specific information on the UA COVID-19 vaccine page.
