University Center - Ferris State University

Happy Earth Day, Bulldogs.

Check this out! An additional vaccine clinic opened for Friday.

To help even more of our Ferris family become vaccinated against COVID-19, an additional vaccine clinic is scheduled for Friday, April 9, from 12 to 7 p.m. inside Wink Arena.

Individuals now eligible to receive the vaccine include Ferris students, faculty and staff, and any family members 16 and older who live in the same household, including spouses, dependents and other relatives.

Students, faculty and staff can register for a vaccine at https://ferris.medicatconnect.com.

Family members can register for a vaccine at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4EA4A62DA6FEC07-pfizer.

Those who are under the age of 18 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian to receive the vaccine.

If you or a member of your family have not yet received a vaccine, and are not currently in isolation and have not received a shot previously, we strongly encourage you to sign up for a vaccination appointment at Ferris. Thank you for helping keep our communities safe and healthy.

Today (April 8), the COVID-19 vaccine clinic continues from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Wink Arena.

One more day this week Ferris will be offering COVID-19 vaccinations at WINK arena!

Tiera was nervous to get vaccinated and didn’t know a lot about the vaccine. After reading more online about it, she decided she would get vaccinated. Tiera is getting vaccinated to protect herself and everyone else from COVID 19. She was very nervous to come to Wink, but said the staff made her feel comfortable with the process. Following her shot, she said she was really glad that she had gotten it.
