–U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hunter Liggett in Monterey County administered its first round of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to the workforce and tenants at the post medical clinic, March 23-25. The first wave of soldiers and civilian employees arriving from Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (PRFTA), FHL’s sub-installation in the Bay Area, also rolled up their sleeves for the jab.
“People are our number one priority, and their health and safety are critical to our mission,” said Col. Charles Bell, Fort Hunter Liggett’s garrison commander. Because it has been difficult for many people to obtain the vaccine from various civilian sources, and because soldiers and many civilian employees are not in the currently eligible categories, Bell said he felt it was important to speed up the vaccine availability.
