What You Need To Know

  • WKU no longer offering COVID-19 vaccines

  • The university was offering Pfizer vaccine

  • Logistical concerns created as end of the spring semester nears and timing of the second dose falls after semester ends

  • There will be a couple of days for those who were vaccinated on campus to receive their second dose

"As we near the end of the spring semester, the timing of the second dose falls after the semester’s end, which causes logistical concerns for students who leave campus," Skipper said in a statement. He also noted that community sites are having more openings and offering walk-up vaccinations.

Skipper said there will be a couple of days during which the roughly 900-1,000 who were vaccinated on campus will be offered their second dose.

WKU never offered the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to Skipper, and the decision was made before the pause.
