The University will hold a COVID-19 booster clinic on November 3 and 4 from 8 am – 6 pm at Pottruck Health and Fitness Center (3701 Walnut Street, Philadelphia). The Pfizer mRNA bivalent COVID-19 booster will be available to the entire University community and their families free of charge. Register and schedule your appointment for the booster clinic here. Please note, you must create an account prior to scheduling your appointment. For more information about the Booster Clinic, visit the Penn Cares COVID-19 Response website.
Booster Eligibility
The CDC recommends that people ages 5 years and older receive one updated (bivalent) booster if it has been at least 2 months since their last COVID-19 vaccine dose, whether that was their final primary series dose or an original (monovalent) booster. This new booster enhances the immune system’s response against both the original coronavirus strain and the newer omicron strains.
Find a Booster in the Community
If you are unable to attend Penn’s booster clinic, you can find appointments for the mRNA bivalent COVID-19 booster at local pharmacies by visiting www.vaccines.gov.
