Vice President of Student Affairs Catherine Holbrook told the Beacon and Beacon Web News in a joint interview with Gina Puc, Vice president of Strategic Initiatives, on Friday, Feb. 5 that MCLA will not be in charge of vaccinating the campus population.
“We are certified by the state to give vaccines. However, we don’t have a large health services staff. We consciously made the decision that we would not be a vaccination site,” Holbrook said via Microsoft Teams.
She noted that despite hiring extra medical personnel to conduct weekly COVID-19 tests on campus, Health Services only has two full-time nurses on the staff.
