MassBay Community College associate degree nursing and practical nursing students recently volunteered with the Watertown Health Department in administering COVID-19 vaccinations, including Aushiana Perryman of Waltham.
Fifteen ADN students and 11 PN students assisted with vaccine administration and with the registration process for hundreds of residents who received their COVID-19 vaccine.
“Nursing students are needed to administer vaccines and provide vaccine education in our communities,” said MassBay director of nursing Andrea Bresnahan. “Being part of the COVID-19 vaccination effort is a rare opportunity for students to directly learn about population health, participate in public health program, gain clinical experience and ultimately save lives.”
