Montana State Closer to Distributing COVID-19 Vaccine to Students
While Montana State is gearing up to begin distributing the new COVID-19 vaccine to students, the first doses were administered to frontline health care workers on campus last week.
According to Jim Mitchell, associate vice president for student wellness, MSU had 44 initial doses which were handed out to most of its clinical workers at University Health Partners, and the campus student health clinic.
Students in clinical programs, who have contact with patients, are expected to receive the vaccine next week as authorized by the state’s Department of Public Health and Human Services.
