Yuma, Arizona - Nursing students at Northern Arizona University-Yuma have stepped up in the community’s fight against COVID-19, with a third of enrolled students volunteering to give vaccinations.
The vaccination volunteering on January 26, which is the latest effort in the partnership between the university and the health care community in southern Arizona, started with an email to Jason Bradley, an assistant clinical professor and program coordinator of the NAU-Yuma nursing program. It was 4:28 p.m., and the email asked for volunteers who could be available at 9 a.m. the next day.
Despite that, eight NAU-Yuma nursing students were at the Yuma County Public Health Services District (PHSD) the next morning, masked and scrubbed up and ready to vaccinate Yuma residents who were eligible for the vaccine.
