RNRN a disaster-relief project of the California Nurses Foundation and National Nurses United has deployed nine teams of volunteers to assist with the administration of Covid-19 vaccines in the historically underserved South Los Angeles community.
A tenth team of RNRN nurses began volunteering this week.
By next week, nurse volunteers from the RNRN, International Medical Corps, community volunteers, and Kedren staff will have helped with the administration of more than 100,000 Covid vaccine doses.
“We nurses are on the front lines and we see the devastation of what Covid has done to communities,” said Sandy Reding, RN at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital and a president of California Nurses Association. “I volunteered for the vaccine clinic because I feel that it is my duty to reach underserved areas that have been disproportionately affected by Covid. We must stop the spread.”
