When asked by Town Council President Greg Manicni expressed his concerns regarding the number of personnel who had been given the opportunity to take the vaccine but had chosen against it and asked both departments if there was something that could be done to further encourage those who had chosen not to be vaccinated to change their minds, leading to a brief debate and a discussion of the individual rights of the men and women in the department. Are you concerned about the percentage of first responders declining a COVID-19 vaccine? Let us know in this week's poll question below.
