Registrants will need to follow the prompts in order to choose an appointment time for Friday, Jan. 15 and submit their identifying information, according to the fire department. A confirmation email will be provided to each successful registrant with the time and location of their appointment, general instructions, as well as a link to a vaccine consent form that must be completed and brought with them to the appointment.
