Dental nurse calls on colleagues to help vaccinate the UK against COVID-19

A dental nurse who is helping to vaccinate people against coronavirus is calling on colleagues to join her in the fight against the pandemic.

Carla Coulson is one of 30,000-plus volunteers who are training with St John Ambulance to become vaccinators.

Carla, who started as a trainee dental nurse in 2004, is head nurse and assistant practice manager at Beverley Highgate dental practice in Beverley, East Yorkshire.

She stepped forward when a patient – a retired nurse – told her about the call on healthcare professionals to help roll out the COVID-19 vaccination.

Carla explained: ‘I decided to look into this further and found that more than 30,000 volunteers are needed to help roll out the vaccine to the general population.’

She said she made the decision because ‘this pandemic has affected everyone’.
