In December, the Anchorage school district in Alaska launched a large-scale community vaccination clinic.

Key Takeaways

  • Organization matters
    • Be very clear on how you will receive people
    • Manage human movement through each stage
  • Have a system for scheduling
  • Tap into skills from all departments
  • Solicit volunteers from the community who have needed skills
