5th Annual Vaccination Day at the HSHSL!

It’s time again for the HSHSL and School of Pharmacy Flu Clinic. As always, vaccines are by appointment only for UMB campus employees and students. The 1-day clinic will be held on Thursday, Oct. 20 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in the Weise Gallery on the first floor of the Library.

This year we have expanded our flu clinic offerings to include COVID-19 and Pneumonia vaccines. COVID-19 vaccinations will include first, second, and booster dosages. If signing up for a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccination or boosters please remember to bring your COVID-19 vaccination card. Also note that Pneumonia vaccinations may include a co-pay for most insurances. This requires early submission of your insurance information to Walgreens to calculate your co-pay. If you sign up for a Pneumonia vaccination, you will be contacted by vaccination day organizers for more information via email. Co-pays will only be accepted in cash.  To ensure enough time for accurate co-pay calculation, registration for Pneumonia vaccines will stop on 10/14.

To schedule an appointment please click HERE.  A mask, insurance card and a photo ID are required at the time of service. Patients have the opportunity to sign up for one or two vaccines, but more than two vaccinations cannot be provided in one appointment.

If you have any questions please contact Anna-Marie Epps, aepps@hshsl.umaryland.edu or Tara Wink, twink@hshsl.umaryland.edu

Taxpayers to Get Immediate Access to Publicly Funded Research

Open Access

The White House issued new guidance that will speed progress toward curing diseases, preventing pandemics, mitigating climate change, and more.

From a statement issued by SPARC

Washington, DC (August 25, 2022) – As a result of action taken today by the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP), taxpayer-funded research will be immediately available for the public to freely access and fully use. The new guidance issued to all federal agencies will eliminate the current 12-month waiting period for access to research outputs, including articles and data. 

“This is an enormous leap forward,” said Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC, which has worked for more than two decades to accelerate open access to research. “For the first time, everyone will have free and immediate access to the results of all federally funded research to speed solutions for global challenges—from cancer to climate change.” Read the full statement.
