The Marysville Fire District helped to organize a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for first responders which has been open for about a week now.
The clinic is allowing firefighters and EMS professionals across the county to have more access to the vaccine.
“We opened this Monday [Jan. 11] and since then we’ve had a fairly steady stream of individuals come in,” said Darryl Neuhoff, deputy chief with the Marysville Fire District.
The clinic is meant to increase local vaccination capacity while other sites are being organized.
“This is a stopgap measure that we could get going while other sites are being set up for the future,” said Neuhoff.
“Our initial intent is not to have this as a long-term facility. Once other sites that are larger and more efficient are up this site will likely be shut down,” he said.
