Getting vaccinated is critical to protecting yourself, your loved ones, our FDNY family, and those we serve. This vaccine is 94% effective in preventing the COVID-19 infection after both doses. Even if you have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies, you still need the vaccine to prevent re-infection. We have now vaccinated over 6,000 active FDNY Firefighters and EMS workers without any serious side effects.
You can find more information here about the COVID-19 vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
