00:00.040 --> 00:03.940
she is Kadena

00:03.950 --> 00:06.280
Air Base is local . National employees

00:06.290 --> 00:08.460
have begun lining up at the risen or

00:08.460 --> 00:11.020
fitness center to receive their first

00:11.020 --> 00:14.160
dose of the Madonna COVID-19 vaccine .

00:14.540 --> 00:16.262
The voluntary vaccine is being

00:16.262 --> 00:18.470
distributed to help the base populists

00:18.470 --> 00:22.350
reach a current or safe status . Mhm .

00:23.940 --> 00:26.162
Yeah . I believe it's important for our

00:26.162 --> 00:28.800
MLC-0 vaccinated today . Um , just to

00:28.800 --> 00:30.967
show that mutual trust between the two

00:30.967 --> 00:32.967
communities , um , it's not that we

00:32.967 --> 00:35.900
want to vaccinate everybody , but it is

00:35.910 --> 00:38.050
our desire to help as many people as

00:38.050 --> 00:40.161
possible that want to be helped . The

00:40.161 --> 00:42.272
process began with first responders ,

00:42.272 --> 00:44.328
but soon many people came with their

00:44.328 --> 00:46.550
own reasoning for wanting the vaccine .

00:46.550 --> 00:50.260
It's basically the faster , the better

00:50.270 --> 00:52.750
if I get the vaccine of space , it will

00:52.750 --> 00:54.950
be the same results , same kind same

00:54.950 --> 00:58.430
dose . It's safer for myself and safer

00:58.440 --> 01:00.107
for everyone else around me .

01:01.140 --> 01:03.270
Everybody's included , especially our

01:03.270 --> 01:05.550
Japanese national employees . Without

01:05.550 --> 01:07.383
them . None of this would happen

01:07.383 --> 01:09.383
without them . We wouldn't have the

01:09.383 --> 01:11.606
relationship with the outside community

01:11.606 --> 01:13.606
without them . Um , this base would

01:13.606 --> 01:15.828
function reporting from Kadena Air Base

01:15.828 --> 01:18.220
Japan . I'm senior airman Demon McGee
