COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shots
Under the guidance of the CDC and the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH), LSU Health New Orleans, in partnership with the LSU Healthcare Network, administers booster doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination on campus. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Bivalent Booster Vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the FDA, but has been authorized for emergency use by the FDA for individuals 12 years of age and older. You are eligible for this vaccine if it has been at least 2 months since you have completed the primary vaccination series or received a booster dose. Vaccines will be administered on the 3rd floor of the LSU Healthcare Network Mutispecialty Clinic at 478 South Johnson Street.
We recommend that you make an appointment prior to arriving at the vaccine clinic. Clinic hours may vary from week to week, and depending on clinic volume, we may be unable to accommodate any walk-ins. Call Campus Health at 504-412-1995 to schedule an appointment or click here to schedule online. Our vaccine clinic is open to everyone and is not limited to our campus community.
On the date of your appointment –
- Please plan to arrive about 5 minutes prior to your appointment time and follow all health precautions at the site, including wearing a mask and practicing social distancing.
- If you develop any COVID-19 symptoms prior to your appointment, please cancel your appointment.
- You must bring a valid driver’s license and your CDC vaccination card if you are coming for your second dose or booster dose. If you need a replacement CDC card, we will do our best to accommodate on the date of your appointment, but you may need to return at a later date to receive a new card depending on volume.
- A consent form must be filled out prior to receiving any dose of the vaccine. Please print your completed consent form and bring with you to expedite the registration process. Click here to access the consent form.
- Remember to dress appropriately! The vaccine will be given in your upper arm. Please come prepared with loose fitting attire or clothing that will allow you to easily expose your upper arm to receive your COVID-19 vaccine injection.
Reminder – Once you have received your vaccination, we will ask that you sit in the observation area for a minimum of 15 minutes to ensure you do not have any adverse reactions to the vaccine that will require medical attention. Those with a history of allergic reaction to prior vaccinations or injections will be observed for 30 minutes.
