We are excited to announce that SFA will be partnering with Nacogdoches Medical Center to host a COVID-19 vaccination clinic. The clinic will be held Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 27- 28, at the Student Recreation Center. A registration link is now available in MySFA for eligible employees and students to select a time to receive a vaccination. Due to a limited supply of vaccines, those who register must meet one or more of the below federal and state eligibility requirements.

   • SFA Health Clinic employees

   Others who may qualify as part of Phase 1a Tier 2, depending on availability, would be those who through their line of work would have an increased exposure to the virus.

   • First responders
   • Custodians and plumbers in COVID areas
   • Residence life employees in COVID areas
