Vials of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations thaw in a refrigerator in the Base Alameda medical clinic laboratory in Alameda, Calif., after being removed from an ultra-low temperature freezer where the vials are stored at near -80°C, Dec. 16, 2020. Initial DoD distribution sites were selected by the DoD’s COVID Task Force from sites recommended by the military services and U.S. Coast Guard to best support several criteria: anticipated supply chain requirements for initially approved vaccines (i.e. ultra-cold, bulk storage facility); sizeable local population to facilitate rapid vaccine administration to priority personnel across the military services; and sufficient necessary medical personnel to administer vaccines and actively monitor vaccine recipients after initial and second-dose administration.
