Anchored in shot delivery…Terry Lerma, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton emergency preparedness manager recieves the COVID-19 vaccine, Dec. 29, 2020 as part of the initial vaccination process. Initial doses of the vaccine were given to frontline health care workers and emergency medical services personnel such as Lerma, along with other first responders, security forces, and other essential workers. 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).
