COVID-19 vaccines were administered to eligible students, faculty, and staff of Tsinghua Shenzhen International Gradate School (Tsinghua SIGS) from March 25 to 26.
Under the supervision of the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission and the Nanshan District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Tsinghua SIGS administrative offices worked in collaboration to support the rollout. Vaccinations were voluntary and given to those eligible at SIGS.
The Southern University of Science and Technology Hospital administered the vaccines and provided medical supplies and emergency response services.
From registration to vaccination, each step of the process was carried out in an orderly manner. Those vaccinated were also asked to stay for a 30-minute observation period.

Many students were also present as volunteers at the site. “It is a challenge to administer so many vaccinations for students and staff at Tsinghua SIGS. I feel honored to serve the school and help with pandemic prevention as a volunteer,” said Dai Wenlin, a master’s student majoring in computer technology.
From March 24 to 25, nearly two thousand students and staff at Tsinghua SIGS have been vaccinated with their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. The second dose, to be administered after two to four weeks, will be arranged in the near future.
