The college has secured another 300 doses of the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) single-dose COVID vaccine (approved for those 18 and older) for members of the Wartburg community on Friday, April 16, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The vaccines will be administered by HyVee in Levick Arena (enter the building on the campus side and proceed up the stairs to the Levick Arena concourse where additional signage and volunteers will guide you through the process). Pre-registration is required.

HyVee recommends that students who live outside of Iowa use their Wartburg College address (100 Wartburg Blvd., Waverly, IA, 50677) as their address. An insurance card IS NOT required to obtain this vaccine. All individuals must wait in the arena at least 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine, so please plan accordingly. This clinic is meant for the Wartburg faculty, staff, and students only. Please do not share this link with others. If you have questions, email covidresponse@wartburg.edu.
