College Students:
Many colleges and universities have removed the mandatory requirement for students to have the COVID-19 vaccine. For students enrolled in health-related or clinical programs (medical, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dental, etc.) there may still be a COVID-19 vaccine requirement. Students should check with their academic department, clinical coordinator, or clinical site for more information.
The 2023-2024 Updated COVID-19 vaccine is already available in retail pharmacies and is a convenient option for most people. NCDOH will have a limited amount of vaccine available at designated clinics. View the Upcoming Clinic Schedule
