The Faculty of Agriculture on the 黄色直播 Agricultural Campus in Bible Hill helped to provide 1500 vaccinations to the local community through multiple immunization clinics on campus in partnership with Nova Scotia Health.

鈥淲e initiated a partnership with Nova Scotia Health to bring an additional venue and immunization resources to our local community including students, staff, faculty and the broader community,鈥� explained Dean David Gray.

The Faulty of Agriculture provided an accessible space in the MacRae Library and volunteers including students, staff and faculty, supported the initiative over the past month by filling positions as schedule organizers, clinic set-up volunteers, greeters and wayfinders, screeners, immunizers, and recovery attendants.

鈥淲hen people say it takes a community to make things happen, this is a perfect example,鈥� explained Carolyn Bartlett, primary care manager health services. 鈥淭ogether we are doing our part to overcome the pandemic, stop the spread and reduce the impact of COVID-19.鈥�

Over 1500 people were served by providing first, second and booster doses with both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine. Great vaccines can be developed, evaluated, produced, and delivered, but they are only effective when administered.

鈥淓very dose in arms provides an additional layer of health and safety to our communities. Every dose given gives us hope. We are extremely pleased with this success and are thankful for all those who came to get their vaccine,鈥� Bartlett added.

Many thanks were received from those in attendance and many positive comments on the venue, access to appointments, ease of securing an appointment, walk-ins being welcomed and the kindness of all involved.

One generous attendee took the time to craft her thanks.聽 聽One small act of kindness that meant so much to all!

Consultations with Nova Scotia Health will be ongoing now and, in the future, to provide resources for additional clinics if necessary.
