Centre chief Communications Officer Michael Strysick said the college received 500 of thePfizer vaccine for Wednesday, March 31, and administered 100 of the doses this past Saturday.
“We’re absolutely thrilled with and grateful for this new partnership that will heighten the prospects for health and safety on our campus and in the community,” Strysick said. “We credit Dr. Steven STack for his goal to vaccinate college students prior to the end of this academic year. This, added to the fact that many Centre faculty and staff have already been vaccinated or are awaiting their second dose, is cause for hope.”
Strysick added that not only with the students benefit from the the local vaccine site, but “the community members will benefit as well, which makes us happy to be good neighbors at a time when we all need to work together.”
And as a side note, Strysick said the clinic director on Wednesday will be a 2017 Centre graduate and a classmate will help administer the vaccines.
According to Wild Health, patients will not be charged any out of pocket expense for the vaccine.
