Days before Christmas, Brenau University’s nurse practitioner Sarah Davis reached out to the health department about the COVID-19 vaccine and how to get doses to the students working in clinical settings and direct patient care.
“As that relationship grew, the health department reached out and said we would love to use your nursing students and faculty in order to help us get the vaccine out within the community,” Davis said.
