LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) Everyone 16 and up is now eligible for a vaccine and local college students can walk up to get one at UNL.
The school is partnering with Lancaster County Health Department to host the clinic on campus on Tuesday, 10 a.m. To 7 p.m. at the coliseum.
It is open to all UNL students, faculty, and staff. Also it’s available for walk–in appointments for anyone age 19 or older with a valid NCard.
When: Manheim Township School Board virtual meeting, April 8.

Comments: The switch from analog to internet protocol will have âfar-reaching implications,â Lyons said. Oberle said the update âwill provide a safe environment in our schools,â by helping to deter crime, bullying and school violence. âA lot of people think cameras catch, but they also protect,â said Matthew Johns, dean of students at the high school. âThe current camera system is not dependable.â
