Thursday-Friday, July 8-9
Wednesday-Friday, July 21-23
All of these clinics will be on the second floor of the D.P. Culp Student Center from 2-4 p.m. Enter on the second-floor entrance off of Seehorn Road (below the third-floor ramp).
The ETSU Health vaccine clinic will administer Johnson & Johnsonâs Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, which only requires one shot.
Following a pause of the Janssen Johnson & Johnson vaccine and a thorough safety review, the CDC and the FDA determined that the recommended pause of the vaccine in the U.S. should be lifted and use of the vaccine should resume. The FDA has determined that the available data show that the vaccineâs known and potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks in individuals 18 years of age and older.
ETSU Health announced a slew of walk-in COVID-19 vaccination events throughout the month of June on Tuesday, in addition to an event on Saturday.
The events will all use the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which was approved for use in those 18 and older after a brief pause last month. Faculty, students and staff from ETSU Health colleges, including Quillen College of Medicine, Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy, the College of Nursing and the College of Public Health, will administer the vaccines and assist with patient intake and registration.
The vaccination clinics will be held:
Saturday, May 29, 10 a.m. to noon in the Millennium Center ballroom, 2001 Millennium Place.
Reported earlier:
ETSU Health will host a COVID-19 vaccination clinic this weekend using the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The clinic will be held in the Millennium Center ballroom at 2001 Millennium Place. Appointments are available on Saturday, March 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Sunday, March 21, from 2-6 p.m. Appointments are available to those 18 and older who are eligible under the stateâs current vaccination plan.
Dr. Adam Welch, an associate dean at East Tennessee State Universityâs Gatton College of Pharmacy, said the university first submitted its application to be a vaccination site last October â months before the first novel coronavirus vaccine was even approved for emergency use in the United States.
ETSU Healthâs novel coronavirus (COVID-19) testing site has moved to the East Tennessee State University parking garage, a move necessitated by rising demand for testing as cases in the region surge.
âThe reason weâre moving is we didnât quite have the capability for the capacity we had anticipated in the Johnson City Community Health Center,â said Dr. Sheri Holmes, ETSU Healthâs chief medical officer.
Holmes said the clinic is already a busy place with a lot of foot and vehicle traffic, and that the move to the second floor of the parking garage will help make the process quicker and more efficient. The testing site will also become a 100% drive-though model, whereas the previous iteration was a hybrid drive-through/walk-in site.
