A career highlight was the OSU College of Pharmacy vaccination effort during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first COVID-19 vaccination clinic took place at OHSU on December 16th, 2020 when the first vaccines arrived in Oregon. Sixteen PharmD students and 8 pharmacy CoP faculty were main immunizers at these clinics (peak 1000 vaccines/day). Our volunteer effort transitioned to the Oregon Convention Center where PharmD students and CoP faculty joined healthcare volunteers to prepare and administer COVID-19 vaccines to the public (8000 vaccines/day). These efforts led to Oregon being one of the states with the fewest reported COVID-19 infections and deaths.
