COVID-19 Vaccines

Fall 2023

A new COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Updated COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone 6 months and older. Learn more here. University Health Services will provide more information regarding plans for vaccine administration in the coming days.

Authorized COVID-19 vaccines have been proven to be highly effective at preventing the COVID-19 infection, particularly severe illnesses and death. To safeguard yourself and those around you from COVID-19, we strongly encourage all members of the UT community to receive the vaccine.

Are up to date on your COVID-19 vaccination?

For assistance in determining if you are up to date with current recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, please refer to this page.

COVID-19 vaccination recommendations are based on:

Your age.
The type of vaccine you received.
The length of time since your last dose.
Your current vaccination status – if you are unvaccinated or if you have only received one monovalent vaccine.

People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised have different vaccination recommendations.

Charges and Insurance

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Public Health Emergency for COVID-19 concluded on May 11, 2023. As a result, the government will no longer subsidize charges for the COVID-19 vaccine. Although you do not need to have insurance to be vaccinated, you may be responsible for some out-of-pocket costs, depending on your insurance status. For additional information, see the UHS and Family Wellness Clinic charges and insurance pages.

Like other state government agencies in Texas, University of Texas institutions are required to comply with Governor Abbott’s executive order and cannot mandate COVID-19 vaccines.
