Broward County Public Schools is seeking volunteers to serve as non-medical assistants during the voluntary H1N1 vaccination process now taking place in the District’s schools. The volunteers may help organize the students as they enter the vaccination area, verify that parent consent forms are on file, restock supplies or run errands. Vaccinations are being offered in most schools for two to three days. Volunteers may serve all of the days, one day or one-half day.

Schools needing volunteers, along with a tentative schedule, are posted on a message board at (www.getinvolvedineducation.com/volunteers). To volunteer, individuals should review the list and call the school of their choice. Schools will provide exact dates and times that volunteers are needed.

If they desire, volunteers will receive free H1N1 vaccine.
