State Partners with California Fire Foundation to Encourage Californians to Get Vaccinated

SACRAMENTO –  Gov. Gavin Newsom May 3, announced the state is joining forces with the California Fire Foundation to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by encouraging people to make a plan to get vaccinated. Firefighters have been on the front lines of the pandemic since day one, and they have seen firsthand the toll it has taken on our communities. They understand the critical role vaccines play in protecting our communities and ending the pandemic. 

As part of the partnership, the California Fire Foundation produced two videos featuring the voices of firefighters discussing contracting COVID-19 and seeing the harm caused by the deadly virus in our communities. They share their reasons for choosing to get vaccinated. The videos will run as social media ads across CDPH’s YouTube, Instagram and Facebook pages through June 30.

View both Fire Foundation videos on YouTube.

Many firefighters and first responders were personally impacted by COVID-19 and understand the debilitating effects the virus can have on a person’s life. As trusted members of our communities, firefighters can encourage all Californians to protect themselves and others by getting vaccinated. 

Heroism and selflessness are always central to the role of being a first responder, but the virus introduced never-before-seen hazards for firefighters and other first-line professionals.
