What you need for the Vaccination Clinic

When registering through the above link, you will be asked to fill out the consent form for the Hy-Vee Pharmacy requesting your first dose. You will automatically be scheduled for your second dose at the vaccine clinic.

Additionally, you will be asked for a copy of the front and back of the information described below that applies to you (you can upload a photo in the registration form). If you cannot upload a photo, you will need to bring a copy of the front and back of the requested documents to the clinic.

1. For those 65 and older, or anyone covered by Medicare, you should include a copy of the front and back of your Medicare red, white and blue card. If this does not apply to your circumstances, then:
2. A copy of the front and back of your prescription insurance coverage card (you may have that on your medical card). It will be a card that should note Prescription or “Rx”. Also, it will have “BIN” or “RxBIN” on it. If this does not apply to your circumstances, then:
3. A copy of the front and back of your medical coverage card and your driver’s license (or State ID). If this does not apply to your circumstances, then:
4. A copy of the front and back of your driver’s license or State ID.

The University will not receive any information regarding students’ or your family’s medical information, nor who chooses to get the vaccine. Neither Minnesota State University, Mankato nor the Minnesota State system require vaccinations of its faculty, staff and students. However, I encourage everyone within our campus community to utilize the expanding array of vaccination avenues to get your vaccination as soon as possible.

Continue to be safe and well.

Sincerely,

Richard Davenport
President
