Firefighters all over Yolo County serving communities and residents are receiving the first of two COVID-19 vaccinations this week as a part of the County’s Phase 1A, Tier 1 vaccine distribution. Vaccinations are being administered by Yolo County public health staff. Firefighters are being given the Moderna vaccine and the second round will be held in late-January and early February.

Firefighters, along with paramedics, EMTs, and other emergency medical workers, are part of the State’s vaccine allocation guideline for Phase 1A, Tier 1. Phase 1A is split into three tiers and doses are prioritized by risk exposure to COVID-19. Full details on each phase and tier can be found on the County’s COVID-19 vaccine page at: www.yolocounty.org/coronavirus-vaccine.
