By Department of Defense News
WASHINGTON, D.C. Defense Department officials have said the department will be ready to offer Covid-19 vaccinations to all eligible beneficiaries by May 1, in keeping with a White House announcement that on that date, all Americans will be able to get vaccinated if they want to.
“We are committed to contributing to the president achieving his goal of 200 million shots in 100 days,” said Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Dr. Terry Adirim during a briefing March 26 at the Pentagon.
Army Lt. Gen. Ronald J. Place, director of the Defense Health Agency said that depending on the rate at which the Department of Defense can get vaccines, and the uptake rate – that’s the number of personnel who step forward to get vaccinated – it’s possible that by early summer, every person in the Department of Defense could be vaccinated.
