As members of the university community welcome the Fall 2021 term, Florida International University (FIU) further intensified its vaccination campaign among its students, faculty, and staff on campus by giving a $150 FIU One Card incentive payment if they get jabbed.
For FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg, recognizing all the members of the Panthers community is crucial to the institution’s overall success. He also added that they are all responsible for putting healthy and safe habits into practice to protect everyone.
Key Takeaways:
- Florida International University launched an incentive program to urge students, faculty, and staff to vaccinate against COVID-19.
- Recipients can use the $150 FIU One Card incentive payment can be used anywhere FIU Cash is accepted, such as dining vendors, retail, and service locations.
- Members of the community must upload their vaccination cards on the Student Health Portal to claim the $150 incentive.
FIU has been giving away a $150 FIU One Card incentive payment since Aug. 25 to those vaccinated against COVID-19. This can be used anywhere FIU Cash is accepted, such as on-campus restaurants, computer labs, 8th Street Campus Kitchen, libraries, retail & service locations, and Barnes & Noble at FIU.
Students, faculty members, and staff must upload their vaccination cards by Oct. 15 on the Student Health Portal as proof that they have been vaccinated to receive the incentive.
The university has also released guidelines on the vaccination process and dates. For instance, for those who want to receive either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, FIU indicated that they must receive their first dose from Aug. 25 to Sept. 10. The same timeframe applies for those who want to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Meanwhile, those who have received their first dose of the vaccine need to complete the second dose no later than the end of September, based on their second vaccination appointment.
FIU provides its own vaccination site, located in the Graham Center Piano Lounge at MMC. While walk-ins are welcome, FIU encourages individuals who want to get vaccinated to schedule an appointment.
