University of Nicosia Vaccination Awareness Campaign

In line with its continuing efforts to raise public awareness on the usefulness of getting vaccinated in combating the coronavirus pandemic, the University of Nicosia is launching an information campaign titled “Every. Shot. Matters.”

By deploying a series of witty and humorous taglines, such as Wanna Stay Safe? Give it Your Best Shot; Don’t let the Virus Call the Shots; Happy Hour at the Vaccination Centre. Free Shots for All; Show the Virus You are A Big Shot; and Take a Step Closer to Normality. It’s Worth a Shot, the University is encouraging its community to take a fresh approach to assessing the possibility of getting vaccinated, And to ultimately do their bit in the global effort underway to tackle the pandemic.

The University invites everyone to read up about the effectiveness of the available vaccines and to book their vaccination appointment as soon as possible. Extensive information on the available vaccines and the benefits of vaccination in combating the coronavirus can be found at the official website of the Press and Information Office: https://www.pio.gov.cy/coronavirus/eng

UNIC Students who are registered with the General Healthcare System (GHS)* and wish to be vaccinated can book an appointment through the University’s Medical Centre. Alternatively, those interested can contact the GHS Vaccination Portal, or visit one of the walk-in vaccination centres.

*EU students in Cyprus may be able to register with the GHS provided they acquire a certificate of entitlement to healthcare (S1 form) from their respective countries. The rules and provisions to be issued with an S1 form depends on each member state. You should check with your health insurance authority in your home country whether you are eligible for it.
