The ILI response is just one of many tools implemented by Ronald Reagan and its medical department in the fight against COVID-19. Since returning to CFAY, leadership established an entirely new department, the COVID Response Center (CRC), aboard the ship. They also partnered with U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka to vaccinate thousands of Sailors from Ronald Reagan, all other ships on the waterfront, and several shore commands. Additionally, the CRC continually advises and enforces command mitigations and policies, while also coordinating with support units ashore in providing care for Sailors with positive COVID-19 test results, symptoms, and those arriving from outside Japan.
