Gwinnett Clinic has been a market leader in COVID-19 testing, treatment, and vaccination. Dr. Shah was recently tapped to serve on a COVID-19 task force by U.S. 

In this episode, we talk about:

- UK experience of using Primary care is working well - US could learn from this!

- Having the right people do the right work makes a big difference - here its physicians and clinical staff from primary care delivering vaccinations who can provide wider healthcare at the same time.

- Build in agility to your plans - with changes in supply (vaccine) and staff you need to be able to respond - Meet your customers/patients where they are. Instead of building something new, take your service and teams out to communities.

- Don’t re-invent the wheel. If there is already infrastructure and teams in place - look at how to add to those - build in flexibility (or a dynamic workforce) where a workforce already exists.
