Franklin County looking for volunteers to help with contact tracing

MALONE, N.Y. (WCAX) - The Franklin County Health Department in New York is looking for volunteers to help with contact tracing and vaccine distribution once it is available.

The department says they want volunteers ready to go in case of a surge event.

They’re also looking for volunteers to distribute vaccines when they become available, but they are still working to confirm details with the state on how that process will work.

A spokesperson with the health department says people have shown interest in the volunteer positions and they should know more about the county’s needs in the coming weeks.
