Feasibility of incorporating collegiate EMS personnel in campus health vaccine administration efforts.

In the face of COVID-19 and Influenza outbreaks which heavily impact the health of students, staff, and faculty on college campuses nationwide, maintaining the accessibility of vaccinations in university populations has emerged as recent challenge due to healthcare staffing shortages. In this pilot study, we evaluate the feasibility of collegiate Emergency Medical Service (EMS) involvement in vaccination efforts. Collegiate EMS personnel were trained to administer intramuscular injections and clinical oversight in campus vaccine clinics was maintained by Campus Health administration.
