Germantown Campus Mass Vax Site Welcomes Walk-ins
This week, the mass vaccination site at Montgomery College Germantown Campus began accepting walk-ins without an appointment. Those community members who do not have a scheduled appointment can come to the campus between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Pre‑registering for a scheduled appointment is still encouraged.
If you are coming to the campus to receive your vaccine, please enter at the Observation Drive entrance off Route 118/Germantown Road. For those who are not driving, Ride On offers a shuttle between the Shady Grove Metro Station and the Montgomery College-Germantown Campus vaccination site.
Montgomery College strongly encourages everyone to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that anyone eligible to receive the vaccine, should do so as soon as possible. Widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop the pandemic.
As a reminder, Montgomery College is hosting the vaccination site, but is not involved in the registration process to receive the vaccine. Pre‑registration is required at the county website or state website.

The P. Paul Pollard Scholarship Fund
Mr. P. Paul Pollard, father of President DeRionne Pollard, passed away earlier last week. Dr. Pollard shared the following on Twitter last week: “My father became a feminist the day I was born because he didn’t believe there was anything his girls couldn’t do.”
Dr. Pollard appreciates the many messages of sympathy that she has received. Since she has had inquiries about memorial contributions, she asks that they be directed to The P. Paul Pollard Generational ACES Scholarship by selecting the dropdown box with his name under “Scholarship Fund.”
Contact Colleen Dolak, annual fund manager, for more information.
