Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) Executive Deputy Secretary Dr. Deb Carrera joined Montgomery County Community College's (MCCC) president, students, staff, and community partners to discuss the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine prior to the start of the fall semester."As colleges and universities across the commonwealth prepare to welcome students back to campus, health and safety measures must remain at the forefront," said Executive Secretary Dr. Deb Carrera. "I commend Montgomery County Community College and their community partners for collaborating to coordinate today's COVID-19 vaccination clinic for students, and I encourage everyone that is eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible to help ensure Pennsylvania's students continue to have access to in-person teaching and learning."Community partner Giant Pharmacy administered the Pfizer vaccine and the Johnson and Johnson vaccine based on availability. People who received their first dose of the vaccine will receive their second dose in a follow-up appointment three weeks after the initial one. MCCC partnered with the Montgomery County Immunization Coalition to host the vaccine clinics on Aug. 6 at MCCC's Blue Bell Campus and Aug. 20 at MCCC's Pottstown Campus.
