Golden Knights,
COVID-19 Case & Quarantine Update: Four positive cases were reported today. University Care Team Members are supporting 16 students with active COVID-19 cases on and off-campus, and 42 students in quarantine as mandated by public health. We also have two employees in isolation.
As announced earlier today, J&J Single Dose Vaccine is at Walgreens and now also at Walmart: Right now, Walgreens in Potsdam and Canton, and the Walmart in Potsdam have the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine available. You can make an appointment here: Walgreens: https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/vaccination/covid-19/location-screening Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/cp/1228302?search_redirect=true&redirect_query=vaccine&redirectQuery=vaccine&typeahead=va Students who are not New Yorkers are eligible and can use their Clarkson address and take their Clarkson ID card to the vaccination clinics. There are also plenty of vaccination appointments at the SUNY Potsdam fieldhouse as well https://am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/ — this location does Pfizer, which requires a second dose three weeks after the first dosage
The College Connector Bus goes to Walmart. If students do not have a car to get to Walgreens or SUNY Potsdam, any student with a driver’s license may access a University fleet vehicle through Campus Safety & Security. Please make your appointment first to get a time from the vaccination site. Then contact Campus Safety at 315-268-6666 to reserve a vehicle to drive directly to/from the appointment only. They will provide further instructions for how to return the car. We will be cleaning/disinfecting the vehicles in between reservations.
Even with new vaccination sites and appointments easy to access, there’s still more to be done before we can fully return to the things we love. Washing hands, social distancing and masking up still make a big difference.
If you have any questions about this communication, please contact clarksonhr@clarkson.edu (employees), studentaffairs@clarkson.edu (students) and/or me.
