In an email to Southwestern students and employees on Monday, April 5, SWCC Dean Kim Bishop announced a COVID-19 vaccine clinic will be offered on campus on Thursday, April 8. The content of the email follows:
Southwestern Students & Employees,
Union County Public Health is planning to host a Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine clinic on the SWCC Creston campus this Thursday, April 8, from 11 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., in the Allied Health & Sciences Center, room 916. This clinic is open to all SWCC employees and SWCC students age 18 or above.
The Johnson and Johnson vaccine does NOT require a second dose, so you will be fully vaccinated following this one dose. Southwestern nursing students will be assisting public health staff with the clinic.

Appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. As a reminder, Southwestern is not requiring you to be vaccinated. The decision to get a vaccine is voluntary.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Kim Bishop
Dean of Student Services
