Central Connecticut campus will be offering two free vaccination clinics on campus for various diseases and will be administered Student Wellness staff.

Shots being administered will be for Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR), Varicella (chickenpox) and Meningitis.

The clinics will be held in Willard-DiLoreto, Room W101 (Student Wellness Center) on Wed., Jan. 29 – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Thurs., Jan. 30 – 2 to 6 p.m.. Although no money is involved, students will require their blue chip ID card in order to receive shots.

“Your health and well-being are factors in your academic success. With this in mind, we are making it easier for you to get the immunizations required by state law to be enrolled as a full- or part-time student at CCSU,” Dr. Toro said in her public statement. “It is my hope the convenience of the vaccination clinics remove at least one of the barriers to you achieving your very best in the classroom and as a member of the Central family.”
