PUYALLUP, WA — The state is about to massively expand vaccine eligibility and the Tacoma - Pierce County Health Department will be ramping up their vaccination drives to match, but they'll need community support if they want to get as many people vaccinated as possible.

That's why the department has put out the call for more volunteers to assist with their COVID-19 vaccination clinics. Everyone is welcome to help out, the department says they need both clinicians to help administer shots and non-clinicians for other support.
