Press release from the University of Houston-Downtown:

August 19, 2021

The opportunity for UHD students, faculty, staff and families to receive free vaccinations on campus is almost here!

UHD and community partner H-E-B in August are partnering to offer the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursday, August 26. Registration is required to receive the vaccines. The second shot will be available on September 17.

In addition, there are added benefits to attending the event. Those registering will receive a T-Shirt and a vaccine card holder – and also will be eligible for the opportunity to receive a $25 gift card.

UHD strongly encourages everyone who has not already received the vaccine to take advantage of this upcoming event. If you are unable to attend the UHD/H-E-B vaccination event on campus, other opportunities are available throughout the city. UHD also is partnering with UTHealth to help ensure the University Community is vaccinated.
