It Take All Of Us…Electronics Technician – Navigation 2nd Class Maurice Wallace, assigned to USS Nebraska (SSBN 739), receives the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine from NHB/NMRTC Bremerton Preventive Medicine staff Dec. 13, 2021. Wallace explained he volunteered to be administered the vaccine “because I want to go home and see family. It does take all of us and the faster we get this vaccine and the information out about it, the better off we’ll all be.” Initial doses of the vaccine have been administered to frontline health care workers, along with other first responders, including emergency medical services personnel, security forces, and other essential personnel, followed by health care and support personnel at military medical treatment facilities, active duty service members supporting COVID-19 response operations and to those providing national critical capabilities such as strategic and nuclear forces and homeland defense. An initial shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine that received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration arrived at NMRTC Bremerton on Dec. 22, 2020, with vaccinations starting the day after. In conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Defense (DoD) distribution plan for administering the vaccine at military medical treatment facilities like NMRTC Bremerton calls for prioritizing through a phased approach to vaccinate all active duty and reserve components, TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select beneficiaries, and select DoD civilians and contract personnel authorized to receive immunizations from DoD (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
