First responders in Oregon receive first dose of Moderna vaccine

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - More shipments of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Oregon Wednesday. County health departments, fire stations, and ambulance service companies say they’d received their first shipments.
At AMR in Portland, it had received the vaccine and had begun vaccinating their paramedics and other employees.
“I got the call this morning that said they are in, let’s go,” AMR Paramedic Randy Geist said.
He was one of several who came in to get vaccinated against the virus. First responders are among those in phase 1(a) rollout of the vaccine in the state of Oregon.
“It’s light at the end of the tunnel, we are not at the end of the tunnel yet, but it is going be nice not to get it as much, give it as much, suffer the symptoms,” Geist said.
