KLKN-TV 82 local frontline workers receive Pfizer vaccine "Not only is it to the benefit of the citizen but for my own health,” said LFR Captain Brian Giles. December 16, 2020 12:54 pm LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — On Monday, 82 local EMTs received the Pfizer COVID vaccine. LFR Captain Brian Giles was first to receive the vaccine at the Lincoln-Lancaster Health Department and says this is vital in helping his crew continue to serve the community. “Well we have roughly about 300 firefighters and if we would have an outbreak in the department, it could mean station closures,” said Giles. “It could mean a wave of sick leave within the department. It would put us short on staffing so not only is it to the benefit of the citizen but for my own health.”
