COVID-19 Vaccine

Bethel University Vaccination Policy

Bethel University will not require students or employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to participate in classes, activities, or employment in fall 2021. 

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) continue to show that COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe illness and death, and both organizations suggest that vaccines are the best method available for protecting yourself and others from the virus. 

We strongly encourage you to explore your options with your healthcare provider, and we will offer vaccination opportunities on campus this fall. 

Regardless of whether you plan to be vaccinated or not, please voluntarily report your vaccination status so that we can identify appropriate mitigation strategies if case numbers increase.

Vaccination Opportunities On Campus 

The Office of Health Services offers the Moderna vaccine for COVID-19 as well as the Moderna booster. Initial vaccines and boosters are free and available to Bethel community members and their household members. Please call to schedule an appointment: 651.638.6215.

Hours are 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m, and participants must remain in Health Services for 15 minutes post-vaccine.
