COVID-19 Vaccine Policy

 

Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is a safer and more effective way to protect yourself from severe illness and hospitalization. On December 17, 2025, the University of California updated their Policy on Vaccination Programs and strongly recommends that all members of the University community follow vaccine recommendations adopted by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and/or their local public health authority or department applicable to their age, medical conditions, and other relevant indications.

  • Students, employees, and faculty can find free vaccinations at multiple locations in Merced County, including options found on the MyTurn website or the national database Vaccines.gov.
