本周，随着COVID-19疫苗获得批准，全国一线工作人员正在进行免疫接种，博彩平台正准备保护学生、教职员工及其家人免受病毒感染。
萨克拉门托县公共卫生部正在考虑将该校园作为几个可能的疫苗接种地点之一，以提供最近批准的针对导致COVID-19的冠状病毒的疫苗。
公共卫生免疫小组说，该县接种的疫苗数量将决定该地区mpod的数量。
在秋季学期，萨克州立大学将利用组织提供流感疫苗，如果被要求提供COVID-19疫苗。 （博彩平台/安德里亚·普莱斯）该大学在2020年秋季学期三次使用医疗分发点（MPOD）模型，分发流感疫苗，并利用经验为COVID-19疫苗分发做准备。
为了帮助管理COVID-19疫苗，Sac州立大学计划在Ernest E. Tschannen Science Complex使用冷冻机，在解冻使用之前，可以将物质冷冻在所需的零度以下。
虽然最初是面向校园人群的，但如果萨克拉门托县公共卫生部门要求，萨克州立大学将向整个社区开放其疫苗接种地点。 That could happen when vaccine dosages are more widely available, said Brenda Bongiorno, of 萨克拉门托 County’s Public Information Office.
“The health and safety of the Hornet Family is an essential priority, and we will always protect the Hive,” said University President Robert S. Nelsen. “As an anchor university, 萨克拉门托 State is blessed to be a (vaccination site).
“We all need to come together and do what we can to keep our region safe. Together, we will endure, and we will come out stronger on the other side of this devastating pandemic.”
“The University is a perfect candidate for a closed point of dispensing lifesaving medications, because of the large number of students and employees.”
Location for 囊状态’s vaccination site is being determined, but a drive-through could be in 停车 Structure 3 (PS 3), which can accommodate six lanes of traffic for mass immunizations. 计划还要求大学联盟和科学综合大楼举办免预约诊所。
“We are prepared for when the vaccine becomes available, which could be several months from now,” said Joy Stewart-James, associate vice president for Student Health and Counseling Services. “The health center has been working with 萨克拉门托 County for a few years to develop the MPOD.”
参与规划冠状病毒疫苗接种地点的其他校园合作伙伴包括紧急行动中心、大学交通和停车服务（UTAPS）、护理学院和萨克拉门托州警察局。
这个想法可以追溯到21世纪初的生物恐怖主义恐慌。 在几位政府官员收到含有有毒炭疽的信件后，萨克拉门托县与萨克州立大学接洽，希望为校园社区建立一个疫苗接种点。
“We would have been a site that could aid with distribution of medications if there were an attack locally. It was important to get out the antidote within 36 hours,” said Janet Dumonchelle, pharmacist-in-charge at the Student Health Services Pharmacy.
因为校园没有受到威胁，所以没有启动生物恐怖主义MPOD。
然而，在2020年3月初，随着COVID-19大流行的爆发，校园合作伙伴再次考虑了建立疫苗接种点的想法。 杜蒙谢尔邀请了公共卫生准备咨询公司生物防御网络（biodefense Network）的戴夫·雷迪克（Dave Reddick）与校园合作伙伴交谈。
“I talked them through the process and explained the value of doing it,” said Reddick, who is based in St. Louis and has served as a consultant for 萨克拉门托 County Public Health and other agencies throughout the country.
“The University is a perfect candidate for a closed point of dispensing lifesaving medications, because of the large number of students and employees.”
今年秋天，护理专业的学生在前三个停车场的MPODs中为200多名“大黄蜂”注射了流感疫苗，并在大学联盟和the WELL的免预约流感诊所为数百人注射了流感疫苗。
Experts say flu vaccines are especially important this year to help reduce chances of people contracting influenza and COVID-19 simultaneously, a possibility that potentially could lead to what has been called a “twin-demic.”
“The flu vaccine does protect people and communities from a preventable disease,” said Tanya K. Altmann, chair and professor in the School of Nursing.
“Doing your part to help reduce the spread and effect of the flu helps to conserve health care resources by reducing the overall burden of respiratory illnesses on the system. It’s your civic duty and the right thing to do.”
由于Sac州立大学正在等待COVID-19疫苗的分配，可能会进行更多的排练。
“We continually improve 囊状态’s COVID-19 immunization readiness,” said Tony Lucas, associate vice president for Business and Administrative Services. “We’ve learned how to scale up the number of people we can safely serve by adding additional vaccination stations in various configurations in 停车 Structure 3.”
安全储存疫苗的能力是大学作为疫苗接种地点的一项重要资产。
The seven freezers in the Science Complex ordinarily hold the faculty’s biological research projects at temperatures to minus 112 degrees Fahrenheit. 这些冰柜可以容纳数千剂辉瑞生物技术公司的疫苗，这些疫苗必须保持在零下94度。
科学综合大楼于2019年9月开放。 但是，产生教员研究样本的生物安全罩和储存这些样本的冷冻室被推迟了几个月。
这意味着，当3月17日校园因疫情过渡到虚拟运营时，七个大冰柜几乎是空的。
“If we hadn’t built that building, with a design that explicitly includes support for research, and if the pandemic hadn’t hit so soon after we moved in, this wouldn’t have been possible,” said Lisa Hammersley, interim dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
“I am so excited for our college to be able to support the University and the region in moving toward an end to this pandemic.”
