Many National Guard members who supported COVID-19 response efforts in 2020 spent much of the year conducting tests, sanitizing facilities, providing logistical support and delivering meals and personal protective equipment, Air Force Master Sgt. Erich B. Smith reported.
Now, the Guard can add another mission to a fight that is approaching the one-year mark: supporting vaccinations.
As early as mid-December, select Guard units were preparing to support local health officials by collecting, securing, transporting and –when requested – administering COVID-19 vaccinations.
“We’ve been able to rotate people through very regularly, very easily,” said Sgt. 1st Class Jennifer Boisvert, with the New Hampshire Army National Guard and a noncommissioned officer in charge at one of the sites. “From the time you drive in, to the time you get your vaccination, you’re probably only here for about 20 minutes.”
