Our path forward

We need our community to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Current Vaccination Rates

  • 54.25%
    Faculty/Staff
  • 51.95%
    Students

Our best defense against COVID-19 is for everyone to get vaccinated. Vaccination rates are updated Tuesdays by 2 p.m.

Want these rates to increase? Tell us that you're vaccinated. If you're not vaccinated, get vaccinated.

Last updated on July 27, 2021. NOTE: Percentages may fluctuate based on student enrollment, new and returning faculty/staff related to hiring and contracts.

Prize

Vaccine Verification Incentive Program

During July, WVU is holding weekly prize drawings to increase the number of students, faculty and staff who verify their vaccination information by the Aug. 1 deadline.

Those who have completed vaccine verification through myhousing.wvu.edu automatically will be entered in each week’s giveaway.

By taking about three minutes to verify your vaccination info, you'll help make our campus safer ahead of the fall semester — and you could win a prize, including:

  • Free textbooks for a semester
  • Gift cards for Chick-fil-A, Starbucks and Barnes & Noble
  • Free Mountie Bounty and Dining Dollars
  • Adventure WV trips
  • Guaranteed football or basketball student season tickets

If the University reaches a 70% vaccination verification rate by Aug. 1, the University is also committed to holding a large concert like FallFest at some point during the academic year.
