Georgia Gwinnett College to offer vaccines on campus
Editor’s Note: This article was updated on May 17. Georgia Gwinnett College announced that the GNR Health Departments will now offer doses of the Moderna vaccine on campus instead of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Georgia Gwinnett College will start giving out vaccines Friday on its campus through a partnership with the Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale County Health Departments.
The Lawrenceville-based college will host the mobile vaccination site at its Wellness and Recreation Center in Building F. Health providers will start administering the Moderna vaccine from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, May 7.
Vaccines will continue to be administered Tuesdays from 1-4 p.m. and Wednesdays from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. until Aug. 4. The site will be open to students, faculty, staff and the general public.
The site will accept walk-ins, but officials recommend anyone interested in taking the vaccine to make a reservation by emailing studentaffairs@ggc.edu. People can also make an appointment at other nearby sites online through the Georgia Department of Public Health.
