The images from last night will long remain in my mind’s eye, reminding us all again of how precious and fragile life is and how the only thing we can control is what we do, together, to help each other whenever and wherever there is need. uknow.uky.edu/campus-news/co…

One thing is clear: vaccinations are our best defense against COVID-19, and while we have made great progress, there is more to do now on our campus. Over the next few weeks, we want to exceed an 80 percent vaccination rate. uknow.uky.edu/blogs/presiden…

Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is a critically important step to keep ourselves and loved ones healthy and safe. Students, if you'd like to be vaccinated before the end of the semester, request an appointment: vaccine.ukhc.org
