What to Expect When Getting Vaccinated
You may be wondering what to expect when getting your COVID-19 vaccine. Besides side-effects, you may be wondering what happens before, during and after your appointment.
Before making a vaccine appointment, investigate the different vaccine types:
The FDA and CDC are allowing for mixing and matching of COVID-19 vaccines for booster shots. If you have a preference between vaccine types, you may need to call around to local clinics to see what vaccine types they have on hand.
Health & Wellness Services
COVID-19 vaccines are available daily at WSU Health Services upstairs in the clinic IWC 222 from 10–11:30AM & 2:30–4PM. No appointment needed just walk up to the front desk and ask for a COVID-19 vaccine. Please bring your insurance information and student ID with you.
Health Services also has various pop-up vaccine clinics outside of these hours throughout the school year. Stay tuned on social media and to university updates about additional vaccine offerings and times.
