We are pleased to share that Adelphi has been allotted a limited number of Pfizer vaccine doses from New York state in order to resume on-campus COVID-19 vaccinations for current Adelphi students beginning Monday, April 26, 2021. Should additional doses remain, they will be made available to faculty and staff on Friday, April 30.
