Rachael Ingram, a cellular and molecular biology major at Missouri State University, fielded questions outside. Members of the Missouri National Guard directed traffic. Lauren Stevens, a nursing student, told attendees to roll up their sleeves as she readied a syringe.
Together, they helped comprise a team that broke a state record for administering the most COVID-19 vaccines in a one-day event, according to a Tweet from the Springfield-Greene County Health Department.

The COVID-19 vaccine mega-event taking place on the Missouri State University campus Thursday and Friday is available to walk-in participants. Previously, organizers had planned to require an appointment.
On Wednesday afternoon, David Hall, director of university safety at MSU, told KSMU organizers are trying to make the event as accessible as possible to everyone.
The vaccination event is free and open to Missouri residents ages 18 and older. Here s the thing: if it s on Thursday, it s only open to those who are in Phase 1 and 2. That s primarily health care, those over the age of 65, critical infrastructure and education [workers]. On Friday, it s open to any Missourian. So any Missourian could walk into our clinic, or event, Hall said.
