Vaccinations continue to play an important role in protecting the UHD Community from COVID-19. The University continues to host on-campus vaccinations clinics, as well as daily testing opportunities from our Curative kiosk on-site.

As students, faculty and staff may recall, on Sept. 3, UHD offered students, faculty and staff the opportunity to participate in the Gator Vaccination Incentive Program, or Gator VIP Program. Student, faculty and staff participants have been named as recipients of special incentives who are mentioned in this article have been notified.

As UHD enters the home stretch of the fall semester, it is important that everyone continue to carry out safe practices and work collectively towards a safe environment for learning and working.
