New vaccine initiative launched for MCCCD students
The vaccination drive offers students a grocery store gift card
September 1, 2021
Maricopa County Community College District students can not only fight the coronavirus pandemic — they can have their groceries paid for while doing it.
Estrella Mountain Community College is hosting a vaccination clinic on their campus. As an incentive to get the shot, students at all Maricopa Community Colleges will receive a free $50 grocery card at their first appointment, while supplies last.
Estrella Mountain is not the first of Maricopa Community colleges to offer vaccinations. Chandler-Gilbert, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Glendale, and Phoenix colleges all offer testing, antibody testing, and vaccinations through Embry Health.
All appointments can be scheduled online, but the Vaccination Clinics offer appointments on a walk-in basis as well, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. across eight separate dates.
The dates for the first round of the two-part vaccine are Sept. 7, Sept. 20, Oct. 7, and Oct. 20.
The second shot dates are Oct. 5, Oct. 18, Nov. 4, and Nov. 17.
