Douglas County would not have enough staff to run its vaccination clinics without volunteers, and the county is seeking more of them as the clinics expand. It’s a volunteer opportunity that participants have found rewarding and emotional, according to Douglas County’s deputy director of emergency management, Jillian Rodrigue. “They keep coming out and want to be a part of moving the community forward,” she said. “Many people see the reactions of the folks that are coming through the line after they get the shot, and they are recognizing the impact getting that vaccine has on the community.”
