As Virginia Tech President Tim Sands put it in a letter to Tech’s staff and employees, “The long-awaited time in which Virginia Tech faculty and staff may receive a COVID-19 vaccine has arrived.”
The first opportunities to receive a vaccine will be held on Tuesday, March 30, Wednesday, March 31, and Thursday, April 1, at the Dedmon Center on the campus of Radford University. Current faculty and staff will have an opportunity to sign up for appointments between 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on these three dates. Five hundred vaccine doses will be available to Virginia Tech employees each day for a total of 1,500 vaccine doses during the three-day period.
The registration process for this opportunity will be coordinated through a separate Virginia Tech registration and will not involve the state system. For the three clinics, the registration system will remain open through noon on Friday, March 26. Details on the registration system are forthcoming.
Which vaccine (Moderna, Pfizer, or Johnson & Johnson) will be offered at these three clinics is not yet known. The vaccinations will be for Virginia Tech employees only. Family members of employees are not eligible during these specifically designated Virginia Tech time blocks.
Faculty and staff who work in a location other than the Blacksburg campus can still register for the vaccinations provided they have transportation to the clinics.
