From Staff Reports Northwestern News
Up to 100 Northwestern students, faculty and staff were expected to be vaccinated during an immunization clinic Wednesday.
The university hosted the clinic in Percefull Fieldhouse in conjunction with the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
Those vaccinated received the Moderna COVID-19 shot, which will require them to get a second dose in a few weeks.
After signing in, those planning to be vaccinated sat down at tables staffed by Northwestern nursing students.
There, they rolled up their sleeves and came one dose closer toward being immunized against the coronavirus.
The vaccine clinic came two days after Northwestern students returned from spring break, marking one of the first steps in returning to normalcy at institutions of higher learning. After spring break in 2020, universities across the nation shuttered and switched to online learning formats to stop the pandemic’s spread.
As of press time, more than 500,000 Oklahomans have been fully immunized.
