<strong> For the past several weeks, I have been volunteering at the mass vaccination clinic at UNM's The Pit, a basketball stadium.</strong> The first week, I was a<strong> "greeter"</strong>. I got a red and silver pompom and directed folks down a hallway to their vaccination stations. The second shift, I was a<strong> "runner"</strong> and made sure all the stations had supplies. Last time, I was a<strong> "scribe"</strong>, and helped check folks in prior to their shots. <strong> Not gonna lie, I volunteered hoping there would be extra vaccinations at the end of the day. But the clinic was too efficient and there were no leftovers.</strong> I was really touched to see so many seniors coming to get vaccinated, and how much care their family members took to make sure they got their shots.
