DEARBORN, Mich.: U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona visited a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at a suburban Detroit community college Tuesday to highlight the White Houses efforts to encourage similar efforts across the country.
Weve been talking about how were going to recover as a country and all hands on deck, Cardona said at Henry Ford College in Dearborn.
So this is a great example of how colleges can do their part to bring people in to get them vaccinated, he told clinic workers and news media.
Cardona also talked about the Biden administrations COVID-19 College Challenge, in which colleges and universities commit to working to get their communities vaccinated. The challenge is part of President Joe Bidens effort to get at least one vaccine dose into 70% of American adults by July 4.
We have to continue to double down our efforts to get those who are a little unsure, uncomfortable. Or maybe we have to bring vaccine to them,” Cardona said. “I know there are some folks that might want it, but have issues with transportation. Were working on every angle to make sure that we get as many shots in the arms of folks.
