In partnership with Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration, UMass Amherst today announced that it will expand its role in distributing COVID-19 vaccines, providing vaccinations for the foreseeable future in concert with the criteria and timeline of the state’s phased vaccination plan.
Keeping the UMass community healthy is critical to our success this spring. The asymptomatic testing program for COVID-19, conducted at the Public Health Promotion Center at the Mullins Center, is designed to mitigate community spread through the early detection of infection.
