NOTE: Appointments for the February 11-12 clinic have been filled. The university will continue to work with the Knox County Health Department to hopefully offer more public vaccine clinics as soon as supplies allow.
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in partnership with the Knox County Health Department, will host a COVID-19 vaccination clinic February 11–12 for eligible recipients.
This clinic will be by appointment only and held in accordance with the State of Tennessee’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan, which prioritizes recipients in phases based on risk or age. Currently in Knox County people in phases 1a1 and 1a2 or those age 70 and older are eligible to receive the vaccine. The state has a COVID-19 vaccine eligibility tool to help people determine their status.
To schedule an appointment, go to signupgenius.com/go/UTvaccineclinic. The online sign-up page includes the required consent form and additional information. Participants are asked to complete the consent form in advance of their appointment. Consent forms will also be available at the clinic.
For information about the clinic location, directions, and parking, contact the campus operators at 865-974-1000.
