COVID-19 on campus

The Campus COVID-19 Vaccination and Mitigation Initiative, or CoVac, is an initiative of the American College Health Association in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The program was started to monitor data regarding COVID-19 vaccinations and build vaccine confidence across campuses. The program offers various resources, including toolkits that were recently updated to aid campuses in their responses:

• VaxForward Toolkit — offers a variety of digital tools for educating members of campus about COVID-19.
• Student Ambassador Toolkit — encourages peer-to-peer education by providing materials for students who wish to become involved in COVID-19 messaging on their campus.
