Fort Knox MEDDAC officials began inoculating military and civilian health care workers, first responders and command teams on post Jan. 6, 2021.

“I’m telling people right now, based on what I’ve seen in the research, it’s safe, it’s effective. After the second shot it’s 95% effective … so I would encourage everyone to get it.” – Maj. Gen. John Evans Jr., U.S. Army Cadet Command and Fort Knox commanding general
