HWL Introduces Vaccination Staffing Program

Written by Jeff Niles | February 11, 2021

The long-anticipated coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine has finally arrived but with staffing shortages across the U.S. and the rollout of mass vaccination sites—vaccination staffing professionals are sorely needed. It is no secret that proper vaccine administration is critical to ensure the vaccine rollout is both safe and effective. In response, Healthcare Workforce Logistics (HWL) has developed a vendor-neutral staffing program designed to meet the need for staff that provides vaccination services to employees and the general public. HWL can connect healthcare delivery organizations to their 100+ agency consortium within 24 hours—a critical component in the ongoing fight against COVID-19. 

 

Meet Vaccination Staffing Needs

According to the New York Times, ‘If the country maintains its current pace of administering first doses, about half of the total population would be at least partially vaccinated around early July, and nearly all-around early December, assuming supply pledges are met and vaccines are eventually available to children.’ Interestingly enough there is much variation between states in terms of dose available and shots given. To speed up dose administration, expertly trained vaccination staff will need to be deployed strategically in areas that require more assistance.

With expertise and leading-edge technology, HWL is uniquely positioned to assist hospital systems in quickly assessing and filling various urgent staffing needs driven by the increased demand in COVID-19 vaccination delivery nationwide.
