UGA Campus Update
Fall 2021
Get Your Flu Shot on Campus Walk-in flu shots are available at the University Health Center Pharmacy for all students, faculty and staff Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Students can also schedule an appointment with their UHC primary care provider online at healthcenter.uga.edu or by calling 706-542-1162.
Faculty and staff can make an appointment with the UHC Travel Clinic by calling 706-542-5575.
COVID-19 Testing for Holiday Travel If you are traveling this holiday season where official documentation of testing is not required, plan ahead and get free asymptomatic testing at the University Health Center. Test results take two to three days. Please note: asymptomatic test result print outs do not meet the requirements for airline travel/clearance.
UHC does offer travel clinic consults and testing for a fee, but individuals are not guaranteed same or next day appointments, so it is best to plan early. The Travel Clinic does provide appropriate and acceptable documentation that meets travel requirements for international travel. There is a fee for the visit and charges depend on what is ordered.
In addition, UHC’s lab offers same-day testing for $100. Results are sent via email.
Pop-up COVID-19 Testing Before Holidays The UGA College of Public Health, in partnership with the UHC, will offer pop-up COVID-19 testing at the Tate Center ahead of the Thanksgiving and winter breaks. Walk-up testing will be offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 22, Dec. 8 and Dec. 20. No appointments are necessary for these services.
Reports of COVID-19 Staying Low as Semester Winds Down As the University of Georgia heads into the Thanksgiving Break, reported cases of COVID-19 increased slightly from the previous week. UGA is offering additional opportunities for testing and free vaccines on campus for all students, faculty and staff.
A total of 29 cases were reported for the week of Nov. 8-14, an increase of seven cases from the previous week. This week’s figure still marks a 95% decrease from the peak of cases reported around Labor Day. In addition, four out of 405 asymptomatic individuals tested positive, for a rate of 1%.
