After you complete your registration, you will receive an email with instructions for scheduling your vaccination appointment at the location of your choice and for completing your consent form. Update from the Alachua County Health Department: It can take several hours for your registration email to arrive. If you don't see it, check your junk or spam folder.

• You will enter through the doors on the East side of the building.
• Face coverings and social distancing are required.
• The SF vaccination clinic will have the Moderna vaccine. As a result, you must be 18 or older to be vaccinated at the SF Clinic. When you register, please enter your first and last name – no nicknames.
• If you have two last names, you need to use both on the registration form.

• You will be given a return appointment for May 13 to receive your second dose of the vaccine at the same location. If you will not be able to make this appointment you will need to contact the health department to schedule another time and location.

We recognize that having the vaccination for faculty, staff, students and their extended family brings peace of mind for many as we begin to bring more students and employees back to the college. The health and safety of our college community remains paramount and therefore we are pleased to be able to bring this opportunity onsite. At this time, Santa Fe College is continuing to maintain all safety protocols, including face coverings and physical distancing measures, regardless of vaccination status.
