UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State’s COVID-19 Operations Control Center (COCC) has developed a comprehensive COVID-19 mitigation strategy for the transitional month of May and the summer 2021 semester for all campuses that includes vaccine consideration, masking, testing, contact tracing, and quarantine and isolation.

New Delhi [India], May 6 (ANI): The Airports Authority of India on Thursday informed that AAI Airports facilitate the rapid and safe delivery of vaccines, oxygen and essentials across the country as the country is battling with the second wave of coronavirus.
The Airports Authority of India in collaboration with its subsidiary AAI Cargo Logistics and Allied Services Company Limited (AAICLAS) is playing a key role in facilitating the rapid and safe delivery of large volumes of doses of vaccines, oxygen containers and other medical equipment needed for the hospitals and towards the vaccination campaigns across the country.
Acting Pennsylvania Physician General Dr. Denise Johnson visited Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center on Monday afternoon to receive a tour of the state-run regional COVID-19 vaccination clinic, encourage efforts to administer doses and provide an update on where the state stands as summer draws near.
The clinic itself was rather quiet during Johnson’s tour, perhaps due to the start of finals week for Penn State students. In a post-tour press conference, Johnson encouraged community members and students alike to schedule their shots before summer travel begins to, hopefully, lower risks of COVID-19 transmission.
“The volume’s been a little bit lower, although I love seeing college students and others get vaccinated,” Johnson said. “We also want to ensure that vaccinations continue. We want to make it easy for college students to have access to vaccines so they can get vaccinated before their semester ends and they leave to go home.”
