Andrew Gausepohl became the base’s first military health care worker to receive the injection. “While I was first in line, while I was the first one to get it, it wasn’t for me. It was for my patients. For the patients that I can now see and not be concerned about spreading this disease,” said Gausepohl, who is the medical director of the 59th Medical Wing Family Emergency Center.
