MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue staff have joined the mass vaccination effort in Powys. A team of 10 firefighters have joined the teams based at Builth Wells and Newtown Mass Vaccination centres. Initially seconded for three months, these fire fighters are helping with the efforts to vaccinate as many people in Powys as possible, as quickly as possible. Ffion Evans is an on-call fire fighter in Newtown as well as being a personal trainer. She said “I’m loving working alongside the health board staff. It’s nice to be doing something different and to be able to help. Sometimes people are a little surprised to see us here, but with the military being involved as well people are appreciative of how so many different groups are working together to deliver the vaccine.”
