Meridian Community College Associate Degree Nursing Program students got another hands-on learning opportunity
when the College hosted its Drive-Thru COVID-19 vaccination session at the Dulaney
Center parking lot.
“This is a good learning experience,” said Camryn Brewer, a third-semester ADN student from Collinsville. Fellow nursing student Caroline Presley agreed, adding that it’s a unique situation.
“It’s also really cool knowing that someday our grandkids are going to read about this in a history book. We just like to help,” the Butler, Ala., resident said.
MCC again partnered with Rush Health System offering the Pfizer vaccinations to campus and community. Some 50 people took advantage of the free vaccination event.
And one of those getting her first COVID-19 vaccination dose was Presley; classmate Brewer administered the dose while supervised by ADN Instructor Kristy Dickerson.
“I didn’t feel that at all,” Presley said. “That’s not bad.”
Those who participated and received their first dose in the Thursday, Oct. 28, event should return to the Dulaney Center Parking Lot on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to get their second dose.
