As COVID-19 vaccines continue to roll out among members of the University of Wyoming community, employees and students are reminded to report their vaccinations to allow the university to track overall numbers.
And those who’ve not yet been vaccinated are strongly encouraged to do so, as multiple options are available to receive the vaccine in Albany County, across Wyoming and around the nation.
As of Monday, 1,653 of UW’s 2,941 benefited employees -- 56.2 percent -- had reported receiving at least one dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, with 50 reporting having received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. All of the vaccines have been shown to be safe and highly effective. There have been no reports of serious side-effects among those vaccinated at the Albany County Vaccine Clinic.
