HANOVER The COVID-19 vaccination clinics at Dartmouth College next week will be open to family members of Dartmouth students, staff and faculty regardless of where they reside, college officials announced.
The hope is that the clinics will help get the college and community up to the 70% to 90% vaccination rate that is necessary to achieve herd immunity, Provost Joe Helble said during a virtual community conversation on Wednesday.
“We are not yet there on our campus,” Helble said.
As of Wednesday, just 12% of Dartmouth undergraduates have uploaded vaccination records indicating to college officials that they’ve been vaccinated, Helble said. That’s well below the more than 30% of students at Tuck School of Business and Geisel School of Medicine, he noted.
