Several community partners have stepped up to assist with providing the vaccine to our campus community.
Thibodaux Regional Health System is scheduling a vaccination day specifically for Nicholls on March 16 between 12:30 – 4 p.m.. Call 985-493-4335 to schedule an appointment. Faculty, staff and students are welcome.
Life Coast Community Health Center is also offering appointments by calling 985-492-6715. Mention that you are affiliated with Nicholls when you schedule appointments.
We are encouraged by a commitment from our partners at LDH Region 3 and the Louisiana National Guard to hold a large-scale vaccination event on our campus in the coming weeks.
This expansion is a huge step toward our goal toward a return to normal. I encourage everyone to consider receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I work at several area hospitals and getting the COVID-19 vaccine makes me feel better about doing my part to reduce the spread of the virus.”
