Warhawk Weekly 6-28: COVID vaccinations, testing; Basketball camp
COVID-19 vaccinations, testing available
As the Alabama Department of Public Health tracks expected increases in COVID-19 cases in the region, Auburn University at Montgomery encourages students and employees to be proactive in monitoring their health and utilizing resources offered by Warhawk Health Services.
Warhawk Health Services will continue to offer COVID-19 vaccines, booster shots and rapid testing.
Warhawk Health Services will offer Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots Monday-Friday, from 8:30a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on a walk-in basis. Vaccines administered by Warhawk Health Services are free, and no insurance is required.
COVID-19 PCR testing and rapid testing is available through Warhawk Health Services Monday – Friday by appointment only during regular business hours. PCR and rapid tests administered by Warhawk Health Services require an office visit copay of $5 for students and $15 for faculty, staff and their dependents. Appointments can be made by phone at 334-244-3281.
Employees also can utilize at-home testing. Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order a third round of free at-home tests by ordering at https://www.covid.gov/tests.
Offering vaccines and taking a COVID-19 test represent several steps that AUM is taking to ensure the health and well-being of the campus community. AUM also continues to follow CDC guidance regarding COVID-19 exposure.
AUM encourages members of the campus community to also continue to practice safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID and to stay informed by:
- Tracking the rate COVID-19 cases in Montgomery County
- Staying updated on the latest CDC strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19, including wearing masks to reduce the spread
- Following CDC guidance for COVID-19 exposure
We all have a part to play in taking care of ourselves and each other. If you are sick, stay at home. Employees who need to miss work due to illness, should contact their supervisor and [email protected] and students who need to miss class due to illness should notify their professor and [email protected].
If you have questions about COVID-19 vaccines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers a “Fact vs. Myth” page. Students are also welcome to contact Warhawk Health Services or their personal healthcare provider.
