Soldiers and Airmen of the Pennsylvania National Guard recently began receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. After an initial round of vaccinations of front-line personnel, several senior leaders, including Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler, Pennsylvania’ acting adjutant general, received the vaccine on Jan. 13.
The vaccine was made available to PNG members beginning Jan. 4 on a voluntary basis, with priority given to Soldiers and Airmen who are actively supporting COVID-19 missions.
“Just like for any other Guard mission, whether we’re supporting winter storms or floods or civil unrest, us getting the vaccine is doing our part to support and protect the community,” said Maj. Jennifer Philson, medical operations planner for the Pennsylvania Joint Force Headquarters.
