Some Colorado fire department chiefs have asked Gov. Jared Polis office to move their crews to the front of the line for coronavirus vaccines, alongside health care workers and long-term care residents and staff.
Under the state s vaccine priority plan, which was released earlier this week, firefighters are part of the first wave of recipients. But they re below health care workers and those in long-term care facilities, and fire chiefs say that could mean they will have to wait weeks and months before receiving inoculations. Why? Because the fire service is a critical key component in keeping the health system running smoothly, Garry Briese, the executive director of the Colorado Fire Chiefs Association, wrote in an email to Polis s staff. The fire service provides more than 80% of all initial out-of-hospital health care contact for critical patients, then firefighters provide triage and transportation to hospitals or alternative care facilities.
