It is strongly recommended that students and employees receive both the COVID-19 bivalent booster and the flu vaccine as soon as possible. For students, both are required, and documentation for both vaccines or a documented exemption must be submitted by Jan. 1, 2023.
Booster clinic opportunities:
Off-Campus Clinic: Knox Public Health will offer a clinic for the COVID-19 bivalent booster only on Friday, Oct. 28, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Energy Field House (101 Yellow Jacket Drive, Mount Vernon). Bring your ID and insurance card.
On-Campus Clinic: An on-campus clinic is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will offer both the COVID-19 bivalent booster and the flu vaccine. Bring your ID and insurance card.*
In addition to the clinics, the flu vaccine is free and readily available to students at the Cox Health and Counseling Center. Students are encouraged to call or email Health Services at 740-427-5525 or health@kenyon.edu to schedule a time. If students receive the flu shot off campus, they will need to provide documentation in the PyraMED student health portal.
Vaccines are also available at the following locations in Mount Vernon:
- Conway’s Pharmacy: 740-397-1420

*Students who do not present an insurance card at the on-campus clinic can still receive the vaccines. However, it is the responsibility of students to provide insurance information to Knox Public Health, and students who do not do so may receive a bill.
