Joining forces to administer COVID-19 vaccines

Abstract

The national vaccination effort for novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is among the greatest operational challenges America has ever faced, the success of which depends upon reaching communities across the United States. In this Commentary, the Executive Dean of Ohio University’s Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OUHCOM) describes the logistics and processes of vaccine delivery at OUHCOM, both on campus and beyond. Among those logistical considerations is a partnership with the local health department and hospital system, as well as student involvement in vaccination efforts.
