The COVID-19 vaccine hit the road in a mobile unit to bring the shot to those who are home-bound.
“This is incredibly rewarding for us all to be able to get out into our community and help get people vaccinated, especially those with mobility issues,” said Sandoval County Fire and Rescue Chief Eric Masterson.
The Mireles family was in high spirits on Wednesday when SCFR Battalion Chief Greg Bobick and firefighter-paramedic Shannon Farrell showed up at their house with five Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
