SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. –
The 310th Space Wing’s Aerospace Medicine Flight worked with the 302nd Aeromedical Staging Squadron to conduct a mass COVID-19 vaccination event at the Peterson AFB gym, April 11.
The event involved the coordination of more than 50 medical personnel from both the 310th Space Wing and the 302nd Airlift Wing to distribute the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine during the Unit Training Assembly weekend.
“The biggest reason [for the coordination] was because we were short on medics and skilled crew if we wanted to get all traditional reservists in at once,” said Staff Sgt. Mica Contreras, a 310th SW aeromedical technician. “To be able to vaccinate them, we needed more hands on deck. With the 302nd being a much larger squadron, they already have their stuff set up and they were willing to help us in manning purposes. We’re grateful for their help.”
