This week, March 2-5, the University of Oregon in Eugene & Albertsons-Safeway will be hosting a vaccination effort to protect the college population from spreading and contracting Meningitis. About 40 Oregon State University students have volunteered to join in on the effort to administer the vaccine since this is such a large population in such a short amount of time.
Vaccines will be offered from 10-8pm in the Matthew Knight Arena on the University of Oregon campus.
“This is a unique opportunity to help our friends at the University of Oregon, working with other members of the Eugene medical community, “ [Lorinda] Andreson said. “Giving vaccinations has become a common part of the training for pharmacists, and it’s rewarding that we’re able to assist in this situation. The need for mass vaccinations such as this is really quite rare, and we’re glad we can help.”
