Various sites across Alamance County are now vaccinating those who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Group 3, which includes Elon University student workers, faculty and university employees. 

Who’s eligible in Group 3

In Group 3 frontline essential workers are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services defines frontline essential workers in categories that include: childcare and pre-K -12 workers, higher education and support staff, essential goods, food and agriculture, government and community service, public health, public safety and transportation.

Elon University faculty and employees are eligible to receive the vaccine. 30% of the Elon University's campus is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine under frontline essential workers. Student workers fall under the "support staff" subcategory in higher education. Elon students may also be eligible for the vaccine if you work in a field that falls under Group 3 such as working at a restaurant.
