Health & Wellness at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) is now offering Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 booster shots to UNH community members. Individuals over 18, residing or working in a school setting or who have received a Moderna or Pfizer vaccine at least six months ago are eligible for the booster shot.  Individuals who received Johnson and Johnson (J&J) only need to wait two months for a booster. 

For many University of New Hampshire (UNH) students, April was the month of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. All became eligible in one way or another, and many received their first or second shot.

In December 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved two vaccines recommended to prevent coronavirus (COVID-19), the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and Moderna’s vaccine. Entering the new year with the pandemic still prevalent in everyday life, students and community members alike can inform themselves on both vaccines here.
