Vaccine Distribution—Phase Two
Full Message*This message was sent to the Northeastern community on 1/20/21
We continue to receive COVID-19 vaccine doses from the state Department of Public Health and will offer them to members of our campus community as soon as new doses arrive. We strongly encourage all members of the community to get vaccinated—the critical next step in overcoming Covid-19. If you work elsewhere – for example at a hospital or clinic that is offering you the vaccine – we encourage you to get vaccinated there as soon as possible. -
Vaccine Distribution
In January, Northeastern became one of the first universities in the United States to begin vaccinating its campus community. This important milestone marks a critical turning point in our continuing efforts over the last ten months to safeguard the health of the Northeastern community and help hasten the end of the pandemic.
