Dear Members of the Loyola Community,

As of this morning, COVID-19 vaccination appointments are still available for members of our community who want to participate in this week’s clinics on the campus of Notre Dame of Maryland University. If you are still in need of a vaccine, go now to this registration link to schedule your appointment for this week. 

Vaccination Clinics at NDMU 
These clinics are co-sponsored by Notre Dame of Maryland University’s School of Pharmacy and Safeway Pharmacies. The clinics will be held in Notre Dame’s Marion Burk Knott Sports Complex from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 13, Wednesday, April 14, Thursday, April 15, and Sunday, April 18. You will need to bring your driver’s license or another form of state identification and your insurance card if you have one, and you will receive the Pfizer vaccine. All individuals 16 and older are eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine in Maryland.

REGISTER NOW USING THIS LINK.
  
After you register, you will receive a confirmation with instructions to print three documents. Please be sure to complete the consent form PRIOR to arrival for your appointment and bring it with you to the appointment (also attached here for your convenience).

Please also bring your driver’s license and your medical insurance card. If you do not have a driver’s license, please bring your University ID card or other form of state-issued ID. Please note if you are an out-of-state student, you still must receive your second dose in Maryland. You cannot get your second dose out of state. 

This is a timely and convenient opportunity since Notre Dame’s campus is an easy walk from ours.

Vaccines Also Available through LifeBridge 
Loyola students, faculty, staff, and administrators can also register for the COVID vaccine through the LifeBridge website to receive their vaccines at Northwest Hospital, 5400 Old Court Road, Randallstown.

To register, follow these instructions: 

• Go to www.lifebridgehealth.org
• Click on the red banner at the top where it says: CLICK HERE TO REQUEST A VACCINE AT A LIFEBRIDGE SITE
• Fill out the information and include LOYOLA in the EMPLOYER SECTION
• Click “Yes” under the option that says, “Education and continuity of government”
• Once processed, you will receive an email with a link to select a time for your vaccine.   
  These are two excellent opportunities for members of our community, and I encourage you to take advantage of the chance to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Students, if you need to miss class time to attend your vaccine appointment, please let your professor know.
  
  

Why should you get vaccinated? 
Being vaccinated protects you and others. In addition, Loyola students who are fully vaccinated no longer need to participate in Campus Assessment and Restriction Periods when they are implemented on campus and in Loyola housing. All individuals who are fully vaccinated do not need to quarantine if exposed to COVID-19 unless they become symptomatic.

I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the chance to receive the COVID-19 vaccine when it is available to you.  Students, if you need to miss class time to attend your vaccine appointment, please let your professor know. 

Thank you for taking this step for your health and the health of our Loyola community. 

Sincerely, 

Rev. Brian F. Linnane, S.J.
President
