February 23, 2022 – Santa Fe College is holding a voluntary spring vaccination incentive program, similar to the one held in the fall. SF encourages anyone who is interested in getting vaccinated to do so. Free vaccines are available at local pharmacies, Publix, and the local Health Department. Santa Fe College will also host a vaccination clinic Tuesday, March 1, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in Building S, Room 29 as part of the college’s Safe Spring Break event on the Northwest Campus.

Current SF students can get a one-time non-recurring $60 if they received the final shot of their full allotment of COVID-19 vaccine (second shot of Pfizer or Moderna or single shot of Johnson & Johnson) between November 1, 2021, and March 20, 2022. In the alternative, students can get a one-time non-recurring $60 if they received a booster at any time up to March 20, 2022.
