Protect Purdue Vaccine Booster Content Package

SUMMARY

Protect Purdue is the University’s comprehensive plan to keep our campus and our community safe by limiting the spread of COVID-19. The Protect Purdue Plan continues to evolve, driven by the latest science surrounding COVID-19 and the collective efforts of hundreds.

As part of that evolution, the below information has been constructed to provide guidance, language and assets to be used in sharing education and information about the next stage of Protect Purdue: vaccine boosters.

An overwhelming 89% majority of the Purdue community has already chosen to get a COVID-19 vaccine. All Boilermakers are encouraged to receive a vaccination and a booster as soon as they are eligible. In 2021, Purdue opened a COVID-19 vaccine distribution site on campus to help vaccinate as many students as possible. Get the latest information on the Purdue vaccine clinic here.

STRATEGY

The next giant leap in protecting Purdue is getting the Boilermaker community vaccinated. Three safe and highly effective COVID-19 vaccines are now available in the United States. All Boilermakers, especially the most vulnerable, are strongly encouraged to receive the vaccine as part of their continued commitment to protect themselves, protect others and protect Purdue.

Use the following social media assets, language, and copy to guide your weekly marketing and messaging materials to communicate information about the Purdue vaccine clinic, vaccine education, booster eligibility and how we, as a community, can work together to stay healthy and Protect Purdue.
