Dear students, faculty, and staff,
Summer is here, and we’re looking forward to enjoying the warm and sunny Hanover weather. Below are COVID-19-related health and wellness resources, along with links to COVID-19 guidance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Get a free COVID-19 booster on Monday, or on July 7. Students, faculty, and staff who are eligible according to CDC guidance can get a bivalent COVID-19 booster (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) at Dartmouth-hosted clinics on Monday, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. (with a break from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.) or on July 7, from 12 to 8 p.m. (with a break from 4 to 5 p.m.). Clinics will be held in the Paganucci Lounge in the Class of 1953 Commons. Please schedule an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome. Don’t forget to bring your vaccine card.
If you are sick or exposed to COVID-19, follow CDC guidance.
If you feel sick or have COVID-19 symptoms, test immediately and wear a mask until you feel better.
If you test positive for COVID-19, isolate for at least five days and wear a mask for at least 10 days. Wear a mask for longer if you continue to test positive or have new or worsening symptoms. Notify your close contacts.
If you were exposed to COVID-19, wear a mask for at least 10 days and test on or after Day 6. Test sooner if you develop symptoms.
Be sure to keep your health-care provider updated. Students should contact the Dartmouth College Health Service. People without an established health-care provider can find care through local resources.
Pick up free COVID-19 antigen tests and face masks. Take-home antigen tests and face masks are available at locations around campus. See finding tests and masks for information.
Get help with questions about long COVID. The effects of having COVID-19 are broad and varied and can include being sick with an active case of COVID-19 as well as experiencing chronic symptoms that persist after being infected. Read coping with COVID-19 and long COVID for resources and support.
If you have questions about COVID-19 guidance and resources, please email covid-19.info@dartmouth.edu. We look forward to seeing you around campus.
Sincerely,
Dave and Rick
