Dear CSB/SJU Students, Faculty and Staff:

We are writing to strongly encourage eligible members of our community to seek out booster shots. Those ages 18 and older qualify for a booster shot if you are six months past your second Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or two months past your one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The Minnesota Department of Health has noted that waning immunity from earlier vaccines (specifically six or more months after the two-shot vaccines) is a driver of breakthrough COVID-19 cases. We realize this week’s booster shot clinic on campus filled up quickly, so please don’t wait. Sign up for a booster shot at a pharmacy or clinic with shots available. You can locate booster shot availability at https://www.vaccines.gov.

We are excited to announce that CSB/SJU is introducing an incentive program for undergraduate students. If you obtain a COVID-19 booster shot – on or off campus – and upload your booster information, you will be entered into a drawing for the following prizes:

• $100 bookstore gift card (five for CSB and five for SJU) – drawing Dec. 13
• $200 bookstore gift card (five for CSB and five for SJU) – drawing Dec. 20
• $1,000 applied to your spring semester student account (one CSB and one SJU) – drawing Jan. 3
• $1,000 applied to your spring semester student account (one CSB and one SJU) – drawing Jan. 10
• $1,000 applied to your spring semester student account (one CSB and one SJU) – drawing Jan. 17

Eligibility: CSB/SJU undergraduate students enrolled in spring semester 2022

Date of first drawing: Monday, Dec. 13

How to enter: Submit your booster information to the Vaccination Submission Form

Winners will be randomly selected. You must submit your vaccine record to have your name in the drawing. 

Please email [email protected] with any questions.

Thank you,
