Southeast Community College
students who live in Lancaster County or attend classes at any SCC-Lincoln
location are now able to register for the COVID-19 vaccine. While getting the
vaccine is highly encouraged, it is not mandatory to enroll in classes at SCC.
“The opportunity for SCC
students to register for the vaccine is exciting because it brings us one more
step closer to a ‘more normal’ college experience,” said Bev Cummins, Vice
President for Student Affairs at SCC and Lincoln Campus director. “We are happy
to be a means of connecting our students with our county health vaccination
program to continue addressing the safety of our students and employees.”
Students
can register through the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department at this
link: https://app.lincoln.ne.gov/aspx/city/covidvac/default.aspx?passcode=788680ed619443cfbab1af04214c3b00. Once registered, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department
will then notify the student when and where the vaccine clinic is
scheduled.
Currently, SCC has classes in person, online and in a hybrid format,
which is a combination of the two. Cummins said it is exciting for the students
to be eligible to receive the vaccination, since staff recently got vaccinated
as well. Click here for more information about SCC’s COVID-19 policies: https://www.southeast.edu/covid-19/
