帮助那些有需要的人得到COVID疫苗:垃圾实习生的生命中的一天

阿什利Liso是一个垃圾第一年的学生。读她的故事关于她的努力让疫苗客户她是她实习的一部分:

“我在做我的实习部分8 /公共住房。大多数这些居民遭受精神和身体残疾,所以这对他们是非常困难的。也有很多老年人不开车回家的。而规划,我几乎每一个障碍可能试图获得疫苗。许多这样的居民没有手机,电脑,也不是一种运输工具的名称。他们都因为他们的情况下都难以注册。因此,我联系我的参议员议员,阳光下的卫生部门,几乎每个人都在希望获得疫苗接种地点的前提。然而,没有人能帮助我。我知道我必须做点什么,因为居民会到办公室现场求我帮助他们接种疫苗。我知道我必须继续探索任何途径,否则这些居民不愿意接种流感疫苗。 I decided to look into mobile vaccination sites and I contacted over 10 agencies before I found this mobile health clinic that was willing to come to both of our sites and vaccinate the residents. They gave me a date and told me the residents will need to fill out registration forms. I hit the pavement delivering notices, making phone calls, knocking on doors and made sure that we hit our minimum. I would also need to make copies of everyone's ID's and documentation of a pre-existing condition if they were under 65. I helped each tenant fill out their registration forms and also helped retrieve documentation by calling doctor's offices and having them fax the letters to me. A lot of residents didn't have identification because they didn't drive and were elderly so I had to track down family members to send me some sort of photo ID. I dealt with language barriers, physical disabilities and whatever need became evident. I only had three days notice, so this was very difficult to do. I had to scan all of their forms, ID's, and documentation to the agency ahead of time. Once Friday arrived, I noticed that I didn't receive back about 25-30 forms so I had to go to each site and get it from their apartments to meet this deadline. It was very stress inducing, but it was certainly worth it. I ended up registering over 100 people and they were all vaccinated on Sunday, March 14! I am so happy these residents were finally able to get vaccinated and the nurse is coming back on april 11th to administer their second dose of Monderna"!
