While dates that the university will be able to begin vaccinating its students, faculty and staff remain uncertain, the University of Mississippi Vaccine Distribution and Administration Task Force announced on Friday that it is prepared to launch a campuswide vaccination program “as soon as shipments are available.”
According to an email from the University of Mississippi Communications, the task force is working with the Mississippi State Department of Health to obtain doses of a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.
“I am extremely confident in our vaccine administration team,” Provost Noel Wilkin said. “They have been administering vaccines on our campus for about a decade and conduct Operation Immunization each year for influenza vaccines.”
