- Hi, my name is HN Emily Parada,
I am from Tri-Cities, Washington,
and my position is the Medical Administrative Officer
of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The MAO is in charge of inventory,
tracking of the vaccine and the consumables.
I'm also going to be recording
our distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine
to Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton.
What I've done to prepare for this vaccine
is to train myself with all of the resources
that Pfizer has posted on their website.
That includes the cold chain management
of the ultra-low temperatures,
vaccine preparation and administration,
and also, the storage and handling of the shipment.
I feel blessed.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Unfortunately, we've lost many lives in this pandemic,
and now is the time to help the people who need it.
It's been very busy,
but we are doing everything we are trained to do,
to be able to administer this vaccine
properly into our patients,
and ensure that it is safe.
