UWM’s vaccination clinic has delivered over 10,000 COVID-19 vaccines! We are so #PantherProud to be part of moving forward and we’re excited to see our students getting vaccinated, too. We asked some of our students what they are most excited to do after getting vaccinated.

“It’s worth a shot to…”

Jamie Rose, Kim Phan and Emma Gilbertson (left to right)

We all had to put some activities on hold last year and we’re determined to make this year different. Find out where you can get your vaccine. It’s worth a shot.
