First FEMA "Surge Team" Coming to Nevada to Boost COVID-19 Vaccinations

@COVID19Up: The first wave of a FEMA “surge team” will be deployed on Tuesday in southern Nevada, where it will assist state agencies and community partners with increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates during a recent spike in positive cases.

FEMA spokeswoman Veronica Verde said the first wave will consist of about 85 staff members, who will work with the Nevada Division of Emergency Management and the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services to staff existing pop-up vaccination clinics, a call center and neighborhood canvassing efforts. A second wave is expected to arrive within the next week or two, Verde added.

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden’s administration announced the federal government was mobilizing such teams, consisting of staff from FEMA and the Centers for Disease Control, for states seeking aid with testing, outreach, vaccination and care needs.
