FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Nurses and medics at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH) have begun administering Fort Campbell’s first shipment of COVID-19 vaccine to frontline military and civilian healthcare workers.
“It is early in the COVID-19 vaccination program, so there is currently a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine. Our vaccination distribution prioritization will be consistent with the Department of Defense and the data-driven CDC guidance for national prioritization,” said Col. Patrick T. Birchfield, hospital commander.
Under current CDC guidelines, BACH personnel directly involved with the hospital’s COVID response will be vaccinated first. Vaccines authorized for emergency use are offered on a voluntary basis.
