SANDWICH As a leader, you ve got to lead from the front, Sandwich Police Chief Peter Wack said.
Wack was the first person to receive a shot of the Moderna vaccine during a Monday clinic for Upper Cape first responders at the Sandwich Human Services building.
Police and firefighters don’t have the luxury of sequestering themselves during the pandemic, as they routinely enter people’s homes, Wack said.
The goal is to vaccinate “a large majority of the population so we can end this virus once and for all,” the chief said.
Sandwich Assistant Town Manager Heather B. Harper said the clinic dispensed 90 first doses of the two-shot Moderna vaccine Monday. By the end of the day Wednesday, it is expected that 250 first doses will have been delivered.
