The UC Davis Fire Department’s student EMTs and firefighters are seeing emotion on both sides of the needle at the Davis campus’s COVID-19 vaccine clinic where the fire personnel are administering the bulk of the shots.
“I had two people who were beginning to tear up because they were just so excited and that it was the light at the end of the tunnel,” said student EMT Rachael Ramirez, a senior majoring in sociology. “This vaccine for many brings a lot of hope. So many people have suffered and so many people are still suffering, so anything I can do to help, I will.”
