Breken?
I'm here at the gulliot university center on una's campus and this is where they will hold the vaccination clinics.
Una officials told me they have 2,000 doses of the moderna vaccine and will get monthly shipments.
Greenway- it's a real privilege for us to be able to give back in this way.
We're not only excited to help our internal campus people and our own employees but the community because we are a part of the city of florence.
Dr. kimberly greenway is the head of una's covid-19 recovery task force.
She said starting next monday, they will vaccinate about 200 people who have signed up.
Greenway- we will have our full medical staff from our university health services will be here and we will also have some help from local partners, our nursing students and we've partnered with northwest shoals community college to allow some of their students to get experience and help us with clinics.
Greenway said only people in phase 1b are elligible to sign up for the shot and they are verifying each person's elligibilty.
Greenway- we have had some people to sign up that don't meet that criteria and so were asking that everyone really make sure that if you're going to sign up that you meet the criteria that we've published.
It is being verified by our medical staff so every time someone signs up it's an electronic process and we literally go through it every day.
Parking is already sparce here at the unviersity.
Greenway said people who are coming to get their shots at their alloted times will have places to park and be directed by una police.
