As the federal government opens mass vaccination sites such as the ones in Oakland at the Oakland Coliseum and in Los Angeles at Cal State University, Los Angeles, security guards are being assigned so that the vaccination process goes smoothly. These large vaccination sites will be capable of administrating thousands of shots a day. That means thousands of cars and individuals will be passing through stadium and college parking lots daily.

Traffic Security. Guards are deployed throughout vaccination distribution sites to coordinate smooth traffic flow. Guards keep vehicles moving and in the proper lanes.

Keeping The Public Safe. Getting a shot is a stressful event. Standing in line or in cars for the critical COVID shot after months of waiting only heightens stress levels. Guards are stationed at vaccination distribution tents and booths. Guards check to see if members of the public are wearing face coverings and are keeping the appropriate distance from others. They also are trained to answer questions and help calm frazzled nerves.

Protecting Against Protests. As we saw at Dodger Stadium recently, vaccination sites can attract protestors. If protesters trespass or cause other disruptions, security guards are quick to act to prevent vaccination distribution delays. When necessary, they will contact law enforcement for additional action.

With less than 8 percent of the U.S. population having received the COVID-19 vaccination, vaccination sites will be with us for months to come. Federal, state and county governments need to be prepared for the influx of people, many of whom are desperate to be vaccinated.
