OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma National Guard, alongside the Oklahoma State Department of Health, continues their mission to support Oklahoma’s whole-of-government response to COVID-19 with vaccine support. As the response to COVID-19 progresses, the Oklahoma National Guard’s mission and focus changes to better serve the community.
“Currently we are still doing testing, contact tracing and vaccine delivery,” said Col. Robert Walter, the Joint Task Force commander for the Oklahoma National Guard. “Right now, we are focusing on administering the vaccine to the 11 health regions across the state, as well as the five separate shot teams we can send out to assist the Oklahoma State Department of Health.”
