UW–Madison continues to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccinations to all eligible students and employees. Make an appointment through the MyUHS web portal, or download the new MyUHS app. We also ask everyone to register their COVID-19 vaccination record to MyUHS.

We urge everyone to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible; this is the most effective way to limit the impact of the virus and interfere with its ability to spread, allowing us to ease restrictions sooner. Vaccination remains the best choice you can make to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
