UCI is pleased to offer COVID booster vaccination clinics on campus during February for the convenience of students, faculty and staff who are eligible to receive a booster shot. The clinics are in partnership with Ralphs and Albertsons pharmacies and will be offered on Tuesdays and Fridays. All clinics will be held in the lower-level lobby of Continuing Education-1 (building 8 on the campus map).
- Please be advised that these clinics are hosted and managed by either Ralphs or Albertsons Pharmacies – not UCI Student Health Center nor UCI Health. Therefore, registration, appointment scheduling and administration of vaccinations are governed by the protocols of the individual retail pharmacies.
- Although walk-in appointments will be accepted, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you make an appointment to ensure that sufficient vaccine supply is available and to reduce wait times.
- After receiving the booster shot and in order to be compliant with the UC policy, students, faculty and staff must upload their booster vaccination record and enter the date of their booster shot on either the Student Health Portal (students only) or the Occupational Health Database Portal (faculty and staff only). UCI staff will be available at the clinics to assist you with uploading your vaccine records.
- For detailed information regarding how to schedule an appointment, what to bring to your appointment and other important information, please follow the instructions below.
