Dean of Wellness Services Richard Jazdzewski announced via e-mail that Lawrence University was approved to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine on Feb. 2. In this email, Jazdewski explained that Lawrence will eventually have access to a COVID-19 vaccine and will first administer vaccines to people working with testing and those working with people in isolation.
Further, Jazdzewski encouraged university employees to contact their health care providers to determine if they are eligible to receive the vaccination before Lawrence begins distributing the vaccine. He also emphasized the importance of all Lawrence community members, including those already fully vaccinated, to continue honoring The Pledge.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) â As a third COVID-19 vaccine has been approved and begins to ship out to clinics across the country, local vaccination clinics are preparing to add another versatile tool to their arsenal.
âVery excited to add another vaccine into the two that weâre currently using. The more vaccine you have, the more people you can vaccinate. We feel very comfortable vaccinating 1,000 people a day,â said Appleton Health Officer Kurt Eggebrecht. âWe could move a lot more people through if that vaccine becomes availableâ¦weâre planning for additional clinics, more days of the week, additional numbers per day, based on the availability of that vaccine.â
