UPDATE: Location change– outdoors at the north side of the Auburn Arena.

Auburn University announced Friday it will participate in “KICK COVID” next Saturday, Sept. 25. 

KICK COVID is a result of a partnership between the Alabama Department of Public Health and Auburn University, among other schools nationwide. The two entities are teaming up to increase vaccination rates and lower the spread of COVID-19.

“The objective of KICK COVID is to promote vaccinations and education regarding vaccine efficacy by leveraging the state’s passion for college football,” a statement on ADPH's website reads.

A KICK COVID vaccine clinic will open on Auburn’s campus Sept. 25 to offer vaccinations to students, faculty and fans alike during the gameday festivities. The clinic will be open on Cater Hall lawn from noon until one hour postgame. 

Citizens who receive their first or second vaccine dose through the clinic that day will be awarded a $75 Auburn University bookstore gift card. Additionally, individuals may get vaccinated between Sept. 11 and Oct. 2 to be eligible for the same gift. 

To receive a gift card outside of Sept. 25, participants must submit their name, email, address and proof of vaccination at kickcovid19.com. The gift card will be delivered by mail for any who choose to participate outside of gameday.
