Get Vaccinated and Get a Gift Card
Students, get a $10 Town Pump gift card at the Ask Us desk when you present your proof of a COVID-19 shot.
If you get vaccinated after May 1, you can bring your proof of getting a COVID-19 shot to the Ask Us desk in the Strand Union Building and walk away with a $10 Town Pump gift card.
Did I read that right? $10 per shot?
Yes, you read that right, it's $10 per shot. That means that if you get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, which each need two doses to be fully effective, you can get two gift cards.
But I got a single-dose vaccine...
Did you get the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine? No second shot for you? Don't worry. Showing proof of your J&J vaccine will get you two gift cards at once.
What do I need to do?
- Get a COVID-19 vaccination.
- Come to the Ask Us desk in the SUB.
- Show them your Cat Card and your proof of vaccination.
- Walk away with a gift card.
Remember you must present your proof of vaccination to the Ask Us desk in person. Each person can only take away up to $20 worth of gift cards. You must have received your shots between May 1 and June 20.
COVID-19 vaccination (primary and boosters):
To determine which vaccine or booster you should receive, please visit the CDC Vaccines for COVID-19 website.
From December 2020 - December 2022, SHP Medical Services administered over 8,000 doses
of COVID-19 vaccines. Due to low demand, we are no longer offering COVID-19 vaccine
clinics and instead refer students and staff to vaccine sites in the community. Please
visit vaccines.gov to find a vaccination site near you.

Vaccine Safety
COVID-19 vaccines are effective, and their safety is closely monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration. The CDC recommends that people get a vaccine as soon as they are eligible and able.
Between Dec. 14, 2020, and mid-May, more than 272 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in the U.S. The vaccines were evaluated in tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials and met the FDA's rigorous, scientific standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality so that they could be granted emergency use authorization.
COVID-19 vaccines have undergone and will continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history. This monitoring includes using both established and new safety monitoring systems to make sure that COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
CDC, FDA, and other federal agencies will continue to monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines as they continue to become more broadly used in the population.
