Gordon State College
continues with vaccinations
Gordon State College
is pleased to announce
that it is continuing with
the process of vacci
nating individuals on
its campus to protect
against the COV1D-19
virus.
Originally, the Pfizer-
BioNTech COV1D-19 Vac
cine was offered to those
individuals who meet the
current criteria to receive
the vaccine - including
faculty and staff who are
55+ years of age, anyone
with developmental dis
abilities, or faculty and
staff who are age 16 years
or older with underlying
conditions.
But recent news from
Georgia Governor Brian
Kemp’s office has des
ignated anyone who is
16-years-old and older
can receive the vaccine,
which could prove to be
beneficial to Highlander
Nation as we continue
through the spring se
mester.
Through March 29, a
total of 204 first-round
doses were provided to
the Gordon State College
Community. The College
will now expand its focus
to providing first-round
doses to other faculty,
staff and students who
are interested in receiv
ing the vaccine at this
time.
“We believe this news
from Governor Brian
Kemp marks a signifi
cant moment for Gordon
State College and its
entire community as
we begin to administer
the vaccine to prevent
coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19),” said Dr. Kirk
A. Nooks, GSC President.
“I am extremely proud of
everyone associated with
our college for their pa
tience and determination
over the past 12 months
as we have endured this
global pandemic. Now
we are hopeful that we
can begin the process
of returning to a more
normal campus environ
ment as individuals are
vaccinated.”
The GSC Department
of Human Resources is
partnering with the GSC
Student Health Center;
the GSC School of Nurs
ing, Health and Natural
Sciences; and the Lamar
County Department of
Public Health to make
vaccines available as
quickly and efficiently as
possible.
“I am very excited to
help bring COVID vac
cine access to campus
for the faculty and staff
this next phase,” said Dr.
Samantha Bishop, Direc
tor of Nursing at GSC. “I
think we are fortunate
that Sherry Farr and her
team from Lamar County
Health Department are
willing to come to cam
pus to bring this impor
tant step to us. I look
forward to working with
our nursing students in
assisting them.”
COVID-19 disease is
caused by a coronavirus
called SARS-CoV-2. This
type of coronavirus has
not been seen before.
Individuals can get CO
VID-19 through contact
with another person who
has the virus and it is
predominantly a respi
ratory illness that can
affect other organs.
“I am also thankful to
Sherry Farr and her team
for partnering with us
to allow our faculty and
staff easy access to the
COVID vaccines,” said
Molly Minter, Director of
the GSC Student Health
Center.
“It is amazing that
we are able to help our
community and our stu
dents,” said Brandy My
ers, GSC Nursing student.
