Students and staff can now get vaccinated on all three campuses of the University of the Free State.

For the month of October, Clicks Pharmacy will be doing vaccinations ( Johnson and Johnson) on the Bloemfontein Campus for staff and students. Clicks Pharmacy staff will be available on the campus in EXR 1(enter from the basketball courts), next to the screening site, on Wednesdays from 09:00 to 13:00.

The following should be noted:

• The COVID-19 vaccine will be administered free of charge.

• You can speed up the process by registering on the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme registration portal before you get to the vaccination site. Staff will be on stand-by to register those who have not yet done so.

• Please bring positive identification, such as an ID book or driver’s licence.

• You will receive proof of your first vaccination via a vaccine card.

In addition to the vaccination site at the Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein, staff and students can also get vaccinated on the Qwaqwa and South campuses. Take note that the Qwaqwa Campus vaccination site is open on Wednesdays only.
