Lougheed
Lougheed, located in Kingston, ON, is actively involved in assisting with Kingston's vaccination rollout. Over 200 Queen’s medical students have volunteered to support Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) in administering the COVID-19 vaccine to frontline workers, healthcare professionals, and senior community members. Since their involvement began, these students have collectively administered over 10,000 doses of the vaccine. Initially, upper-year medical students were part of the vaccination clinic, but the campaign rapidly expanded to include all four years of medical students. Each day at KHSC, students engage in two four-hour shifts where they are involved in various aspects of the vaccination process, from screening patients to administering the vaccine. This hands-on experience not only benefits the community but also provides valuable learning opportunities for the students involved. As the vaccination rollout progresses, Queen’s students from different health professional programs in the Faculty of Health Sciences will continue to play a crucial role in serving the wider community. Working closely with KFL&A Public Health, students are actively contributing to the distribution and implementation plan of the vaccine, showcasing their dedication to supporting the community in this historic immunization campaign.
