David’s story — “The people working at the clinic are from all levels of life”

David is a volunteer at the Waldron in New Cross.

A friend was volunteering at the clinic, and I thought that would be a good thing to do: I had to wait until my wife (and I) had her first shot due to some medical issues, and then signed up the next week.

I joined at a good time, as there were a lot of second shots being given out, and it was a delight to help them: the oldies were particularly happy to be getting their shots, and their joy was infectious!

The people working at the clinic are from all levels of life, but they are generally fun to spend time with, and happy to muck in and help, and to show the ropes to the newer volunteers (there seem to be new people every time I go to the clinic). I will always look back fondly on helping the old folks to get through the process as easily as possible, and putting people’s minds at rest when they have questions about the vaccination.
