Making it stick…Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Stephen Hohner administers the COVID-19 vaccine to Lt. Cmdr. Douglas Steffy, staff physician, on Dec. 29, 2020, at Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton. Initial doses of the vaccine were given to frontline health care workers such as Steffy, along with other first responders, including emergency medical services personnel, security forces, and other essential personnel. 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 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).
