Top LAFD brass are using free Lyft rides, Google Nest gear and home security systems to entice firefighters unwilling to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Both Terrazas and Mayor Eric Garcetti have said they would potentially make the vaccination mandatory if firefighters remain reluctant as time goes by, though neither has yet to indicate he is ready to take that step.
“The LAFD will continue to offer the vaccine to its sworn members on a weekly basis,” Terrazas said. “I and our union partners strongly encourage all of our firefighters to get the vaccine as soon as possible.”
Judy Mark, president of advocacy group Disability Voices United, said that if front-line workers, including firefighters, were all vaccinated, “that would certainly keep us much safer.”

The push to protect Los Angeles Fire Department personnel from COVID-19 has ground to a near halt as many firefighters decline to take the vaccine.
Late last year, firefighters were the first city workers given access to the shots. After an initial burst of activity, the number showing up to get the vaccine has plummeted. This past week only 143 firefighters visited one of the department s vaccination centers, according to data released by the city Friday night. So far, 1,944 of the agency s just under 3,400 members have been inoculated, leaving four in 10 vulnerable to the highly infectious coronavirus.
