The state of California launched a new program Friday that allows residents the opportunity to get vaccinated by volunteering to help get others inoculated.
The online tool allows users to look for clinics and mass vaccine sites seeking help based on their ZIP code.
While some locations are asking for eight-hour shifts, a spokesperson said if you work four hours or more, you can receive a vaccine with approval from the clinic administrator — even if you’re not eligible within the state’s framework.
