Successful partnership to enhance Covid-19 vaccine roll out comes to an end

摘要

Since February, community safety staff from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service have transported 125 passengers over 9,450 miles to ensure they were able to receive their Covid-19 vaccination. CFO Chris Davies said: "Recognising the configuration of our service, the areas we cover and indeed the people we employee, this seemed an ideal opportunity for us to widen our response to the pandemic and support our partners in safeguarding our communities. "Whilst we already collaborate with the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust, this opportunity enabled us to expand our assistance further within the health arena. This partnership with Hywel Dda University Health Board was the first of its kind for fire and rescue services in Wales and paved the way for a number of similar partnerships for us and the other fire and rescue services in Wales.
