Article (400 words):
The University of Guadalajara (UDG) has announced a targeted COVID-19 vaccination campaign, commencing tomorrow, January 9, aimed at protecting students and staff at the Center for Health Sciences (CUCS). The drive, which will last until January 15, is a preventive measure aimed at curbing potential COVID-19 outbreaks within the health sciences hub.
The Director of the Division of Disciplines for the Promotion and Preservation of Health at CUCS, Gabriela Macedo, explained that the focus is on CUCS due to the higher risk of infection among health science students and staff.
The vaccination drive will span five days, excluding the weekend, from January 9 to 15, with operating hours from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily. The immunization will take place at the Domo de Usos Múltiples, a multi-purpose venue on the CUCS campus. Both students and staff, including academic, administrative, and service personnel, are eligible to receive the jab.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will be administered, offering robust protection against emerging COVID-19 variants. The vaccination is voluntary, but students and staff are strongly encouraged to participate to ensure the safety and health of UDG’s CUCS community.
UDGs vaccination campaign exemplifies the institution’s commitment to safeguarding the well-being of its members and the broader community. The university continues to monitor the pandemic situation and adapts its strategies to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, reflecting its role as a responsible and forward-thinking academic institution.
