EMTs should be trained to give COVID vaccine shots | Quigley NJ.com 3/2/2021
Why can’t EMTs vaccinate in New Jersey? We sure could use them.
In places like Florida, Massachusetts and Vermont, EMTs inoculate and that may be one reason why vaccinations in those states exceed numbers here.
Moderna is injected straight out of the vial. No mixing or reconstituting involved.
It’s pretty easy to insert a needle into someone’s muscle in an upper arm. I’m not denigrating the skill, but how many of us had to learn to inject insulin into an elderly relative or insert a needle with hormones into a spouse or partner enrolled in a fertility program?
