CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The Reading Fire Department was among the dozens of units in Hamilton County to receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday.
Around 80% of the department’s firefighters rolled up their sleeves to get the first dose of the vaccine.
The firefighters said it was quick, painless, and the whole process took only around a minute.
Tyler Strole was the first to receive the vaccine here at the Reading Fire Department.
“We’ve done a lot of training on the vaccination through local doctors,” said Strole. “I did my own research and I felt like it was the best decision for me, my career, and my community.”
