Dear Allegheny College Campus Community,
Students may now sign up online for the COVID-19 vaccine administered by Meadville Medical Center.
Transportation to the vaccination site will be offered by the Crawford Area Transportation Authority (CATA), and the schedule will be available next week. Any questions about transportation can be emailed to gbeck@allegheny.edu. Please remember to bring a photo ID and thank everyone that you meet.
In an effort to support Allegheny’s commitment to an excellent in-person educational experience for Fall 2021, the College is strongly recommending that all students receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine prevents serious illness, hospitalization, and death. Benefits specific to the Allegheny community include:
- Additional face-to-face classroom interactions and academic experiences
- Permission to work and volunteer in the local community
- Expanded athletic practices and competitions
- A wider range of activities offered at Allegheny, including live music, guest speakers, and school-sponsored trips
- Augmented dining options
- Greater interpersonal collaboration among faculty, students, staff, and administrators
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. As I have mentioned, millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.
Join me in moving us forward to a better tomorrow. Gator strong.
Dr. Morrow
