Retired Doctors and Nurses Help at Mass Vax Sites as More Volunteers Needed in Kane County

Cathy Schmitt is a former emergency room nurse who is volunteering at the Batavia site. 
“People sit down in these chairs and they’re very anxious, they’re very nervous,” Schmitt said.  “(I like to ) calm them down a bit. Talk to them, calmly. Explain what you’re going to do.”
The Kane County Health Department recently opened its third mass vaccination site, and the department said it is seeing a need for more volunteers.
“It takes the village to get this all done and everyone has been coming in,” said Laura Barrett, Director of the Division of Disease Prevention.  “We’ve been using nursing students, anywhere we can to help support this increased demand and to get these vaccines out as quickly as we can.”
