UC San Diego Health decided Thursday to partner with the county of San Diego to vaccinate at least 5,000 people per day against the novel coronavirus, starting Monday.
The campaign comes as hospitals across the county are bracing for a post-New Year’s Eve surge in infections that will challenge the region’s ability to care for COVID patients.
“With this new partnership, we urgently need hundreds of UC San Diego Health team members to help out,” the university says in an internal memo distributed on Thursday.
“This is an ‘all hands’ effort as the goal is to vaccinate over 5,000 community members a day. You have the power to help vaccinate our community! We will need licensed and non-licensed team members (faculty, staff, students, and trainees) to step forward to serve in multiple different roles with supervisor approval to ensure a safe vaccine process.”
Like other parts of the country, San Diego County has gotten off to a fairly slow start in vaccinating people against the coronavirus, partly because the effort began over the Christmas holiday season.
