Ledge Light Health District, which covers towns in the New London region, is looking for people who can help expand COVID-19 vaccine outreach. And they will pay you.
The health district is hiring about a dozen community ambassadors. Download our mobile app for iOS or Android to get alerts for local breaking news and weather. Our goal is to make sure that everybody who wants to get vaccinated is able to do so really easily, said Jennifer Muggeo, deputy director of the Ledge Light Health District (LLHD).
Community ambassadors will help the health district accomplish that goal, Muggeo said. They are looking for people who are friendly and like to talk, have strong ties to the New London and Groton communities, and people who are willing to help others understand more about the COVID-19 vaccines and where to get them.
