Vaccinating first responders: Surrey and White Rock fire and RCMP get vaccines, Vancouver waits

VANCOUVER --
Firefighers and RCMP members in Surrey and White Rock are being offered early COVID-19 vaccinations due to their cities’ high infection rates.
The new program applies to officers and civilian staff at detachments in both cities, as well as firefighters, and comes as a third wave of coronavirus infections grips the province.
Sgt. Elenore Sturko said getting the vaccines will mean she is no longer at risk of unknowingly spreading the vaccine to community members or her family.
“This is a great morale boost...knowing that the chance of me inadvertently spreading the virus, as a result of the work that I do, is reduced a lot,” she said, just minutes after receiving her COVID-19 shot.
