The vaccine is now widely available, and 好色先生TV is providing additional access to anyone seeking a COVID-19 vaccine by hosting two clinics on campus.<\/p>\n<p>These free, walk-up vaccination clinics are offered in partnership with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dekalbhealth.net\/\">DeKalb County Board of Health<\/a>. No appointment, identification, proof of citizenship or health insurance are needed, and the clinics are open to the entire community.<\/p>\n<p>The Pfizer vaccine will be administered in the <a href=\"https:\/\/oglethorpe.edu\/about\/maps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traer Hall parking lot<\/a> facing the Turner Lynch Campus Center on the following dates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday, August 25, 2021 \u2013 10 a.m.-1 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday, September 22, 2021 \u2013 10 a.m.-1 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Providing equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines is an important step in ending the pandemic. Associate Director of Student Wellness <strong>Natasha Byrd<\/strong> hopes that anyone who has yet to be fully vaccinated will take advantage of these opportunities.[contextly_sidebar id=&#8221;vgkOb5sszIE9ZV2a9uNn0uL6rTlvI2ow&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing campus community care in action,\u201d said Byrd. \u201cThe COVID-19 vaccine is effective, and it not only helps those receiving the vaccine, but also helps immunocompromised individuals who are unable to be vaccinated at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Global Engagement<strong> Marisa Atencio<\/strong> highlighted the importance of vaccine access, specifically for international students at Oglethorpe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all ready for the pandemic to end,\u201d said Atencio. \u201cBy offering these vaccine clinics on campus, we\u2019re helping international students and others who have not had an opportunity to access the COVID-19 vaccine. This is also a chance for individuals in the community to get vaccinated in an environment they are comfortable in, while preparing the university for a return to campus activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Pfizer vaccine is available for individuals 12 years of age and older. A parent or guardian must accompany anyone ages 12-17. For more information or questions on the upcoming clinics, please email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:healthinfo@oglethorpe.edu\">healthinfo@oglethorpe.edu<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dekalb.covid19@dph.ga.gov\">dekalb.covid19@dph.ga.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, the university\u00a0issued a policy\u00a0that all students, faculty and staff be vaccinated prior to returning to campus this fall, providing the opportunity to come back together as a community. Individuals have been able to apply for an exemption as a medical or religious accommodation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":73499,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[4551,4552,4565],"tags":[3574,3273,3565,3575],"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-73498","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-life","category-featured","category-news","tag-covid","tag-covid-19","tag-vaccination","tag-vaccine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
