In addition, unvaccinated individuals must continue to be tested as part of FIT's ongoing COVID-19 protocols.
FIT Health Services continues to provide testing, vaccinations, booster shots, and surveillance testing in the John E. Reeves Great Hall, which will continue to be used for these purposes. Make an appointment for these services on the Health Services portal.

A rapid test may be taken at home or at a facility. Upload the negative PCR test results upon receipt. If you have not yet submitted a negative PCR test to the Health Services portal, please do so.
All students must upload evidence of their booster to the FIT Health Services Portal by February 11 or within five months from your last vaccination.
