KGO
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KGO) -- Alameda County began vaccinating their 911 first responders last Friday and on Monday, and as more counties received the first batch of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, San Francisco firefighters are wondering when they will get vaccinated.
On a daily basis, San Francisco firefighters are seeing an increase of COVID-19 related response calls, according to their union.
We have "60 members that are positive with COVID, 29 in quarantine and one right now in the hospital," said Adrienne Sims, Director of San Francisco Local 798.
The union says it's a daunting reality for the 1,700 firefighters as COVID-19 cases surge.
