China News Service, March 10th. According to Qiaobao.com, as many states in the United States increase the distribution of new crown vaccines, in order to ensure the smooth operation of vaccination sites, volunteers usually have priority in obtaining vaccination opportunities.

However, this has raised doubts from many Americans. They believe that the current supply of vaccines is limited, and it is unfair that many volunteers who only need to do paperwork have access to vaccination opportunities.

On February 5, local time, staff at the New Crown Vaccination Site at Yankee Stadium in New York conducted temperature and safety checks for citizens who came to vaccinate.

On the same day, the New York Yankee Stadium was opened as a large-scale vaccination site for the new crown vaccine.

  According to reports, volunteers at the vaccination site need to complete all the tasks in the vaccination process-from directing traffic to helping the vaccinators sign in, so that the vaccination site can run smoothly.

In return, volunteers are usually given the opportunity to vaccinate.

Many people who are not eligible for vaccination, such as young and healthy people, may choose to volunteer in order to get the opportunity to be vaccinated.

  At the vaccination site in Seattle, the Swedish Medical Center in Washington included volunteers as the first batch of vaccinators in the state.

Bommers, the center's quality director and head of the vaccination center, said that about 5,000 people were vaccinated, and about 1,000 of them chose to continue to work as volunteers.

  Bommers said: "We cannot complete the vaccination without volunteers. If we want to complete the vaccination volume, the center needs 320 staff every day."

  Bin Duden, 35, is from Roanoke, Virginia, working as a volunteer at a mass vaccination site in nearby Salem.

His wife is a nurse in charge of vaccinations, and she encourages Duden to volunteer so that he can get vaccinations.

  Duden said that the idea of ​​“you can get a vaccine by being a volunteer” may be a bit selfish, but this is not the only reason for him to be a volunteer.

On February 16, local time, the mass vaccination station set up at Oakland Stadium, California, was opened to eligible people.

This vaccination station will provide 6000 doses of vaccine every day.

  However, this has raised doubts because the current supply of vaccines is limited, and some Americans cannot get the vaccine even if they are eligible.

But medical ethicists say that volunteers are the key to public health work and they should be protected.

  Nancy Berliner, a bioethicist at the Hastings Center, a bioethics research organization, said that in the final analysis, volunteers need to interact with the public, and there is nothing wrong with them in wanting to be protected.

  Bollinger said that although many volunteers need several hours in their shifts during workdays, it does not mean that only a certain class of groups have time to volunteer.

She said: "Volunteer working hours may apply to students, it may also apply to unemployed and retirees, and it may also apply to those who need to take care of their families."

  Lovell, a 67-year-old retired old man, volunteered at a stadium vaccination spot in the suburbs of Phoenix from 10 pm to 6 am, and was vaccinated with Pfizer.

Lovell said: "For the first time, I felt that I was very important and what I did was also very important." Lovell said that he wanted to be a volunteer again.

  A total of 3,900 volunteers are needed every week for this stadium and another vaccination site in Phoenix.

Hands On Greater Phoenix, a non-profit organization that handles online volunteer recruitment, opens 1,400 to 2,000 places each time. The CEO of the organization, Oliver, said that people are very interested. Every time a new place is opened, there are 1 Ten thousand to 15,000 people try to sign up.
