Vigilant Guard PODS Exercise
Come take part in the Mass Prophylaxis Points of Distribution (POD) Vigilant Guard Exercise! This event is occurring at five locations across the state. PODs are mechanism for distributing critical interventions antibiotics, vaccinations, or etc. to prevent the development of infection to non-symptomatic populations exposed or potentially exposed to health threats. MRC volunteers and Vermont Department of Health employees will be staffing POD positions to distribute medication.
Additionally, we are looking for as many volunteer actors we can get to walkthrough one of the five POD sites below as patients from 10:30 am to 1:15 pm. Ever want to be an actor, here your chance! Email derek.pitts@vermont.gov with interests.
This will be an excellent insight and learning opportunity to attendees, to learn how critical medication interventions are used to prevent the development of infection to non-symptomatic populations exposed or potentially exposed to health threats.
