ASU Seeks Help From Yuma COVID-19 Website, Volunteers Receive Pfizer Vaccine

The university works with HandsOn Greater Phoenix

YUMA, Arizona (KYMA, KECY) – Arizona State University (ASURE) research firm is seeking non-clinical volunteers to fill over 900 positions in support of an upcoming Yuma COVID-19 vaccination site. ASURE is working with HandsOn Greater Phoenix to register and schedule volunteers.

Volunteers are expected to help check in patients, confirm dates, and provide logistical support. All tasks require standing / moving for most of the shift.

Mobile wheelchair users can also volunteer. Each volunteer is asked to limit personal items to what they can carry themselves.
