COVID-19 Vaccine Update: Children Ages 12-15

This message has been approved by Kyle Clark, Vice President for Finance & Administration

Florida State University is pleased to expand eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccination to dependents of Florida State University faculty, staff and current students. All students are eligible for the vaccine while they are studying with Florida State University, regardless of residency.

Per the Governor’s latest communications, we may now vaccinate all Floridians with any COVID-19 vaccine as prescribed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At this time, the University is administering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine which is approved for use in individuals 12 years of age and older. Please note, minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian in order to receive the vaccine.

The next clinic for the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination will take place Tuesday, May 18.

You will find additional vaccine clinic dates and more information on how to create an account and register for your COVID-19 vaccines at vaccine.fsu.edu. Once you create your account, dependents 12 years of age and older may be registered by clicking on “Register Minors/Wards.” Multiple children may be registered one at a time, if needed.

Once your account is created with CDR Maguire and you select “Get Vaccinated”, you will be asked if you have an Entry Code. In order to access the FSU vaccine clinic and select your appointment time, you must enter the code FSU2021 to complete your registration.
