I believe it makes sense for interested laypeople like myself to be trained to give the coronavirus vaccine. I am not afraid to give shots (I have dogs), and I want to help. I don’t want to be licensed or take jobs from anyone in the future or now.

I understand there are probably state and professional regulations that would have to be temporarily amended to allow something like this to happen; however, I think it would make sense.

We need to get as many people as at all possible vaccinated in as short a time as possible. Why not take advantage of volunteers (with supervision, of course)? I would sign up in a heartbeat.
