Come Volunteer for PCOA! Take YOUR Shot!
In January we launched a new phase of our Take YOUR Shot campaign. The Take YOUR Shot campaign encourages our community members to get their COVID-19 vaccine, boosters, and flu shot. This new iteration of the campaign is multifaceted. In fact, you may have seen our advertisements on TV, social media, or in the newspaper, or you may have heard them on the radio. These past two months we’ve also been sending canvassers to neighborhoods to speak directly with Pima County residents about why it’s important to get vaccinated against COVID-19, and to help unvaccinated people find a vaccination location near them. This community outreach is essential to increasing the access people have and the accurate information they receive about vaccines, and it cannot be accomplished without community members like you! In February, one of our canvassers talked to someone at their door who was unvaccinated. He had been meaning to get vaccinated but didn’t have a plan and the right information about how to do so. Our canvassers were able to provide him accurate information and help him make a plan to get his COVID-19 vaccine the next day. That’s why we need YOUR help! We are currently seeking volunteers who will join us in making phone calls and knocking on doors in our communities. You don’t need to have prior experience and we will provide all of the training and talking points required.
Looking For Volunteers Come Canvass With Us! Talk to your neighbors about COVID vaccines, booster shots, and flu shots Inform your community about the importance of vaccines and encourage them to get theirs Connect people with local resources and available vaccine appointments
