COVID-19 booster shots are free to all without an insurance card needed. Insurance card information will be collected for flu shots and flu shots are fully covered by most insurance policies.

BGSU will continue to provide updates to our community regarding COVID-19 planning. From the onset of this global pandemic, we have worked with the Wood County Health Department and the Erie County Health Department and appreciate their guidance in navigating COVID-19.

BGSU will remain flexible and adaptable with the goal of ensuring the health and safety of our community, as well as a successful academic year.

Face Covering Guidance

With recommended precautions now tied to risk levels based on local health department guidance, BGSU does not require face coverings on its campuses. 

BGSU will follow guidance from the Wood County Health Department and Erie County Health Department. Individuals may choose to wear face coverings at any time.

Free KN95 masks are available at the Bowen-Thompson Student Union, Jerome Library, Student Recreation Center and the front desk of all residence halls. If you have questions email health@bgsu.edu.
