We are sharing the notice below on behalf of the Jefferson County Department of Public Health, in furtherance of our state’s continuing efforts to protect Alabama citizens from COVID-19.


The Jefferson County Department of Health (JCDH) is currently working with the Alabama Department of Health (ADPH) to develop plans to vaccinate Jefferson County residents when a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available.  As the local health department, JCDH is responsible for coordination of a pandemic vaccine response with other organizations in our area which includes providing vaccinators to staff Point of Dispensing (POD) sites such as mass vaccination and drive-thru clinics. 
 
We are currently recruiting Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Medical Assistants and Paramedics who are interested in working on a temporary basis to ensure residents of our county are vaccinated.  Primary job duties will include conducting interviews, administering intramuscular, subcutaneous and/or intradermal injections, disinfection of work area, and vaccine inventory and storage.
