Photo Essay: Campus Vaccine Clinic

April 8, 2021

On April 7-8, Grinnell College partnered with Hy-Vee to offer a vaccination clinic for students, faculty, staff and their immediate households. More than 800 vaccines were provided over the two day period. A second clinic is planned for later this month.

Campus Safety blocked off the entire Ward Field lot to accommodate the vaccine clinic. By 9:30am the lot was nearly full. Photo by Andrew Tucker.

The line quickly grew, snaking out of Darby Gym, upstairs and through the lobby of the Bear. Photo by Kaya Matsuura.
