BRISTOL, Va. â During this stressful time of fear and anxiety caused by the pandemic, volunteers across the country are among the everyday heroes who are showing compassion and courage for the most vulnerable.
Many of those volunteers are right here in our own communities.
Meet Ann Jernigan, a volunteer at Southwest Virginia Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) in Bristol, Virginia, who is prepared to assist with upcoming COVID-19 vaccinations as a medical screener.
As a screener, Jernigan will be the first medical individual to greet people when they arrive for their vaccines. After asking a series of questions, she will decide if the patients can go forward with the vaccines.
