Lower COVID19 Vaccine Priority For EMS Per Cuomo

EMS will have a lower COVID19 vaccine priority per Governor Andrew Cuomo (NY) and Governor Jared Polis (CO).

EMS organizations are now calling on the state to let their workers get the first doses, but there may not be enough to go around due to poor planning and preparation.

The state is getting 170,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine if it gets FDA approval. The governor is hoping for that to happen soon. That first batch will be divvied up among healthcare workers and those in nursing homes.

Lower COVID19 Vaccine Priority While Others Refuse Vaccine

The International Association of Fire Chiefs and International Association of Firefighters lobbied for their responders to be at the front of the line despite a recent survey of a large union saying fifty percent of its membership did not want the vaccine.
