I was looking for stories to do during Spring Break (since most education/school-related stories wouldn't easily come together) and discussed this story with a producer.  She knows a nurse who works a regular job at a hospital before volunteering at one of the Houston area COVID vaccination sites.  I got in touch with Harris County Public Health which has a team of volunteers helping out.  The agency hooked me up with a certified EMT who donates his time giving shots and doing whatever else is needed.  The process would move a lot more slowly without the assistance of volunteers.. Both those with or without medical backgrounds.
