6 Soldiers and Airmen from the Connecticut National Guard, who have been serving on the front line of the ongoing pandemic response, began receiving their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine at Bradley Air National Guard Base Jan. 2, 2021 in accordance with the Department of Defense vaccine distribution plan.
According to a DoD press release, the vaccine distribution was prioritized for personnel in accordance to CDC guidelines, including: “those providing direct medical care, maintaining essential national security and installation functions, deploying forces, and those beneficiaries at the highest risk for developing severe illness from COVID-19.”
Receiving the vaccine was optional for everyone and those who opted in reported having no serious side effects other than the peace of mind knowing they now have the opportunity to keep their friends, family, neighbors, and themselves safe from this deadly virus.
