Get Vaccinated against COVID-19

Schedule Your Vaccine on Campus

The Auraria Campus’ 5th Street Garage vaccine distribution site is now open to all CU Denver students. There are also several mass vaccination sites across the state, including at Ball Arena and Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Many Denver-area pharmacies such as Walgreens, King Soopers, and Safeway also have appointments available - you can see where there are vaccines in stock near you with VaccineFinder. We strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated when and wherever you are able to get the first available appointment. We hope to see you (safely) in person in Fall!

CU Vaccine Study for Students Ages 18-26

The University of Colorado Boulder is part of a national study determining the effectiveness of the Moderna vaccine in stopping COVID-19 infection and transmission in college students (ages 18 – 26 years). Students who participate in the study will be vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine, and compensation for participating in the study is available. Those who are interested should email: covpnstudy@colorado.edu. You will instantly receive an email response with some basic questions to get things started. This is a great opportunity to not only be vaccinated but help in the fight to end the COVID-19 pandemic.
