Cal State San Bernardino Joins Coronavirus Vaccine Challenge

California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) recently announced it has joined hundreds of colleges across the nation in the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 College Vaccine Challenge.

The White House and U.S. Department of Education launched the effort in early June as a way to reach younger Americans who are lagging behind in COVID-19 vaccination rates. Participating colleges are asked to commit to three key actions to help get their campus communities vaccinated: engaging every student, faculty and staff member; organizing their college communities; and delivering vaccine access for all.

CSUSB President Tomás Morales said it was important that students, faculty and staff get vaccinated.

“We are committed to the health and safety of our CSUSB family and our communities. Through vaccinations we can help stop and prevent the spread of this virus, so I would implore everyone, especially our young people, to get vaccinated,” Morales said. “Let’s defeat COVID-19.”

For information on vaccinations, or to make an appointment to receive the vaccine visit the county’s COVID-19 Vaccine webpage, or call the COVID-19 hotline at (909) 387-3911, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
