COVID Vaccines Now Open to All

In their weekly meeting, Faculty Senate COVID-19 Working Group committee members Christine Harker and Scott Alberts discussed increased vaccine availability and what it could mean for the fall semester.

Last week, Truman conducted an on-campus vaccination clinic for students and employees. Hy-Vee Pharmacy administered 365 doses, primarily the Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine. In Missouri, the vaccine is now available to anyone over the age of 16. The more people who get vaccinated, the faster herd immunity can be achieved. It also could affect what in-person options Truman is able to do in the fall semester.

A recording of their conversation is available here.
