Pharmacists have been on the frontlines throughout the pandemic, and counted among them are about 125 Binghamton University School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences students who are continuing to assist with COVID-19 testing and are now also administering the vaccine.
Many of the students are vaccinating eligible people as part of their jobs, but about 40 of them are volunteering, often driving for hours or fighting traffic as they commute to vaccination sites. Why are they doing it? To be part of history, they say.
Student volunteers receive assistance
Through the Binghamton Fund, the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is providing support to students who are volunteering to administer COVID-19 vaccinations.
