The Peoria City/County Health Department (PCCHD) is seeking medical volunteers to assist with administering COVID-19 vaccinations. Volunteers who are licensed medical professionals or 4th-year medical students, including doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and EMTs may be used to help administer vaccinations. For more information, visit https://www.illinoishelps.net/faq.php.
Upwards of 280 vaccinations are administered per day. Volunteers:
- Should expect to be engaged in active, physical work including standing and walking
- Must arrive wearing and continue to wear face masks during shift
- Need to wear closed-toe, comfortable shoes
- Will follow simple dress code – wear dress shirts and no jeans, ball hats, or t-shirts
- Will have access to hand sanitizer stations
What if I allowed my licensure to expire or I am not licensed in Illinois? In the COVID-19 outbreak, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) has a number of emergency rules to renew expired licenses quickly as well as fees associated with this. IDFPR has also allowed for Temporary Practice Permits for certain professions that are licensed in other states for no fee. Please see their website at https://www.idfpr.com/COVID-19.asp for additional details.
Please Note: Once the PCCHD receives your response from this registration site, you will receive an email confirmation with next steps for you to complete your application process.
