9 As Connecticut began administering COVID-19 vaccinations to educators and staff members, Guardsmen from the 103rd Airlift Wing provided non-medical administrative support to a clinic set up at Saint Francis Hospital to vaccinate 1,500 teachers and staff from Hartford Public Schools March 4-5, 2021.
Airmen teamed with hospital staff members at the stations within the clinic. As the hospital staff administered the vaccine to patients, Airmen helped with the associated administrative tasks to efficiently run the site.
“We’re helping with paperwork, registration, logging information in the CDC’s online Vaccine Administration Management System, filling out the vaccination cards anything we can do to provide administrative support here,” said U.S. Air Force Capt. Aaron Sarwar, 118th Airlift Squadron navigator and site lead for Air National Guard personnel.
