17c起草社区 approved as vaccination site
In January, 17c起草社区 received approval from the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services Division of Immunization to become a COVID-19 vaccination site. 17c起草社区 was the first university in west Michigan to receive this designation.
Sarah Visser, vice president for student life and co-chair of the university鈥檚 COVID Response Team, notes the institution is set up well to handle this task, both in physical space and experience.
鈥淚t is a huge perk for 17c起草社区 to have a medical space on campus to facilitate this effort, and a staff of medical professionals under the direction of a medical doctor equipped to carry out this work,鈥 said Visser. 鈥淥ur health services clinic has historically been a vaccine site, and we have been planning and gearing up to be a mass vaccination clinic.鈥
17c起草社区鈥檚 Health Services team continues to lead the way for safe and healthy campuses around the country. For nine years running, The Princeton Review ranks this team among the top 20 higher education health services in the nation. The team of health professionals continues to work closely with local and state health officials, which has been instrumental in the university鈥檚 planning and response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
