Newark Public Safety Director Anthony F. Ambrose received the COVID-19 vaccine today and encourages all first responders to also take the vaccination as part of the fight against this public health threat.
“The benefits of protecting the near 1,800 employees I oversee—including police, firefighters and emergency management employees—as well as the community I interact with, made my decision to take the vaccine an easy one,” Director Ambrose. “I encourage every Newark first responder to do the same.”
Director Ambrose was vaccinated through the Essex County Department of Health and rehabilitation along with other public safety leaders.
The City of Newark will begin administering vaccines to first responders next week.
