COVID-19 Inoculation Mission: first call for volunteers

Chatham CERT will assist with mass coronavirus vaccinations in Chatham County. We anticipate a large need for volunteers (CERT members or not) to help direct Chatham residents at the vaccination locations. We are also looking for Spanish interpreters to assist at the vaccination sessions. Please send an email to if you are interested in helping with this mission or learning more about volunteering with CERT.
