SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras is announcing a program to vaccinate students living on campus before the end of the spring semester.
SUNY has secured its first reserved shipment of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Because the J&J vaccine requires just one dose, tens of thousands of on-campus students can get their one shot without having to wait weeks for a second dose before going home next month.
SUNY is also inviting students to share their purpose for getting vaccinated on social media with a photo or video as part of the #ItsYourTurn and #KnowYourVax public education campaigns.
