COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Volunteer Sign up - Updated Information

Posted over 4 years ago by Michelle Taylor

FDEM is seeking CRNA, SRNA, APRN, and RN volunteers to administer COVID-19 vaccinations.

Thanks to all for the overwhelming response. With the number of volunteers the state has partnered with Merit (a neat phone app you can download) to manage and organize volunteers. It is with great pleasure that FANA (Florida Association of Nurse Anesthetists) unifies the volunteer nurse operations with FDEM for Merit as they take operational control and coordinate with local emergency management directors. The FANA team will no longer be staffing the sites as that will now fall to the individual county, but will of course continue to coordinate with FDEM. We remain ready and excited to partner with FDEM and Merit in these important efforts.

Below you will find important links, including one for those previously registered so that you can select additional volunteer dates in the coming months, and a second link for those who have not yet registered for these efforts. Merit will also be issuing you a Certified Nurse Merit which will include a welcome to your account and help you track each and every priceless hour served. All volunteer opportunities will be seen by the county you select, and the county will contact you directly! Keep an eye out for operational processes that will reduce paperwork, and get you on the scene ASAP, and ready to serve! All questions should be directed toward your local county emergency managers.

Previously registered volunteers can sign up for new shifts for the end of January, February and March here:
