Our campus response follows guidance from the University of Florida, the State of Florida, the Florida Department of Education and considers recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC.
COVID-19 Vaccinations are Strongly Encouraged
We continue to strongly encourage eligible members of the UF/P.K. Yonge community (age 12 years and older) to be vaccinated. For local COVID-19 vaccine clinics, check Vaccine Availability.

Mask wearing will be expected, not required, on the UF/P.K. Yonge campus and in UF/P.K. Yonge facilities. Members of the P.K.
