Volunteers must complete the “Medical Points of Dispensing (MPOD)” course

WOODLAND, CA (MPG) - In anticipation of regulatory approval of COVID-19 booster shots and vaccines for children, the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency is looking for volunteers to assist with vaccination clinics this fall and beyond. Volunteers will assist with set up, take down, registration, screening, vaccination, traffic control, translation, medical observation and overall management of the vaccination clinics. Anyone sixteen years of age and older can volunteer and community service certificates can be issued for volunteer hours upon request. Food and drinks will also be provided during volunteer shifts.

Volunteers must complete the “Medical Points of Dispensing (MPOD)” course at http://yolopodclasses.org. Upon completion of the class, individuals will be given the option to submit a volunteer application to Yolo County. For questions about volunteering, contact the Yolo County Volunteer Coordinator at [email protected].

Volunteers have played a critical role in the COVID-19 vaccination rollout to date and Yolo County looks forward to ongoing community member participation in the process of protecting residents against the threat of COVID-19.
