Austin Peay This Week: Those 18 years and older can now get vaccinated on campus
(Posted March 29, 2021)
Montgomery County recently opened COVID-19 vaccines to anyone 16 years or older. Anyone 18 years or older can receive the Moderna vaccine at the Austin Peay State University campus vaccination site free of charge. To sign up, visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4daea628a5f4c43-first.
On Tuesday, March 2, Austin Peay State University’s nursing faculty and students began administering the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to members of the Montgomery County community at a drive-thru site behind the Ard Building.
After someone requests an appointment from Austin Peay, they’ll receive additional information on when to arrive at campus.
Individuals registered to receive a vaccination must enter lot 11 by traveling east on Main Street. Traffic will not be allowed to enter from University Avenue.

Vounteers welcomed at vaccination site
As of Friday, Austin Peay’s vaccination site in parking lot 11, next to the Ard Building, has administered 1,135 doses of the Moderna vaccination. This site represents a major University effort to help keep the campus and the Clarksville-Montgomery County community safe, and we could use your help to make sure this effort continues to run smoothly.
