(La Porte, IN) - COVID-19 vaccination is turning into something of a cottage industry offering thousands of jobs.  Opportunities are becoming available at the state, local, and corporate levels.

State health offices are recruiting college students who can help out the COVID cause in various part-time ways.  Jobs range from substitute teaching to contact tracing, transportation, and clerical work for vaccinations. To apply through the state, follow this link.

La Porte County is also hiring people to staff a vaccination center at the fairgrounds, once vaccines go public.  Local health department officials say they have most of their staffing needs covered for now, but still encourage applicants.

And, the Kroger grocery chain announced last week, it will be hiring as many as 1,000 new workers to help roll out the vaccine in their pharmacies, once they’re able to do so.
