COVID-19 Vaccine PODs (Point of Dispensing) took over parking lots and gymnasium spaces on the Statesboro and Armstrong campuses in a collaborative effort unlike any other Georgia Southern has taken on. The drive-through and walk-in clinics were led by the University’s Medical Director Brian DeLoach, M.D., and Assistant Professor of Epidemiology in the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health (JPHCOPH) Jessica Smith Schwind, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the moment arrived for vaccine availability, more than 360 volunteers including faculty, staff and students from JPHCOPH and the Waters College of Health Professions, University Police, Facilities Services, Information Technology Services and many others from across the University rolled up their sleeves and helped to put more than 7,400 total shots in arms by June 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did this endeavor provide the University community with convenient and free-of-charge access to the COVID-19 vaccine, but it also provided public health and nursing students with an unforgettable experience that helped to prepare them for their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
