Cathy Schmitt is a former emergency room nurse who is volunteering at the Batavia site.
“People sit down in these chairs and they’re very anxious, they’re very nervous,” Schmitt said. “(I like to ) calm them down a bit. Talk to them, calmly. Explain what you’re going to do.”
The Kane County Health Department recently opened its third mass vaccination site, and the department said it is seeing a need for more volunteers.
