Posted April 26, 2021 11:31 am.
Toronto firefighters and paramedics are stepping up to help run mobile vaccination clinics in the city.
Starting this week, they’ll be deployed with physicians and healthcare professionals.
The paramedics will serve as vaccine loaders and immunizers, while firefighters will manage logistics, client screening, registration and after-care support.
Several hospitals in the city are holding vaccination clinics on Monday including Humber River Hospital, with a pop-up clinic at Downsview Arena for those 18 and older who
live or work in the M3J, M3K, M3M and M3N hot spots.
ATTENTION: We have enough people for today’s clinic and are cutting the line. https://t.co/7vZACoBUrE
