Urgent Need for Vaccine Volunteers

 

Urgent need for vaccine volunteers

Urgent call to support the NHS this Christmas    Dear Colleague, As you will be aware, there is an intensive booster programme currently being planned and rolled out by colleagues in the health sector and wider ICS system, with the aim to get as many people in Suffolk vaccinated with a Covid booster by December 24th. To achieve this, there is a real and urgent need for volunteers to undertake stewarding and marshalling roles at various sites. We have been asked to approach colleagues across the VCSE sector to help with this and ask that you share this link with your volunteers, staff and other contacts who might be able and willing to help with this important task. The Role:-   Steward Volunteers help people move easily and safely through COVID-19 vaccination sites. You may also be asked to support at other sites including GP surgeries and pharmacies. You could be asked to support with managing queues and directing people to the right place. Stewarding at vaccination sites may also involve monitoring numbers and ensuring safe social distancing measures are followed. This role would be mostly conducted outside   To register for this role, please complete this short and simple form.  If you require further information, please contact the volunteering team – volunteering@communityactionsuffolk.org.uk Apologies if you have received this email more than once; we are sending it to all our specialist networks to reach as many people as possible. Many thanks in anticipation,  Community Action Suffolk
