In a Thursday ArchNews email, University of Georgia President Jere Morehead and Provost Jack Hu updated the university community on plans for the spring 2021 semester regarding COVID-19. Morehead and Hu emphasized that they would continue following guidance from the Medical Oversight Task Force on testing.
UGA has been designated as a dispensing point for the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the email. The university will work with the federal and state government to administer doses of vaccine when they are available. The university does not expect to have large volumes of the vaccines until later in the spring semester, and the University Health Center staff and the Office of Emergency Preparedness will give further updates once they have more information.
