Nine UMass Medical School student volunteers administered COVID-19 vaccinations to the community on Monday, April 19, at the YWCA Central Massachusetts in downtown Worcester. The mobile clinic, which delivered roughly 300 doses of the Moderna vaccine, was one of scores so far deploying trained health care personnel as well as nonclinical volunteers in the Vaccine Corps, a program organized by UMass Medical School’s Commonwealth Medicine to bring COVID-19 vaccinations to where people need them the most. The event itself was organized by the Worcester Department of Health and Human Services.
