COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic Volunteering

In partnership with the Carroll County General Health District, I have had the amazing opportunity of volunteering at COVID-19 vaccination clinics in my hometown. It was especially meaningful to be working at some of the clinics that were for the teachers at my old high school. Obviously, I am not certified or qualified to give intermuscular injections. However, I do get the chance to greet and check patients in. With this, I have learned a lot about the composition of the Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Additionally, I have learned about all kinds of allergies to medications and their symptoms. Finally, I even got the chance to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine myself! Just one dose and I am fully vaccinated for COVID-19. It is so reassuring to see big turnouts and huge lines at these clinics. We are just inches away from getting back to normality.
