The GCU vaccination site opened on January 26 and was ran by university staff and student/employee volunteers.
The university said the vaccination site is expected to have provided over 115,000 vaccines in its three-month operation span.
“We didn’t ask to be reimbursed for the expenses of operating the vaccination site because we knew our faculty, staff and student volunteers would step up in a big way,” GCU President Brian Mueller said. “They are so proud that they could be part of the COVID-19 solution in our neighborhood.”
The vaccination site also offered the option of a walk-up option for people interested in getting a vaccine who lacked a vehicle or relied on public transportation.
