00:00.540 --> 00:01.650
Mhm . Yes .

00:07.120 --> 00:09.390
The COVID-19 vaccine arrived at Naval

00:09.390 --> 00:11.560
Hospital Rhoda on January 15 .

00:13.640 --> 00:15.807
Medical staff at the hospital prepared

00:15.807 --> 00:17.473
initial vaccination shots and

00:17.473 --> 00:19.640
administered the first inoculations at

00:19.640 --> 00:21.696
the flicks , movie theater on base .

00:21.696 --> 00:23.751
The vaccine was offered to frontline

00:23.751 --> 00:25.584
medical staff and emergency care

00:25.584 --> 00:28.200
providers first . So what we did today

00:28.210 --> 00:30.154
handle a bit of the administrative

00:30.154 --> 00:32.154
portion , just the paperwork , make

00:32.154 --> 00:34.377
sure that people are getting the proper

00:34.377 --> 00:35.932
documentation done and also

00:35.932 --> 00:38.099
administrate the vaccine . So that was

00:38.099 --> 00:40.210
a pretty big step forward now to have

00:40.210 --> 00:39.990
vaccinations here in Roda . And we're

00:39.990 --> 00:42.157
able to give them , you know , this is

00:42.157 --> 00:44.379
this is our chance to really fight back

00:44.379 --> 00:46.546
against Covid . And uh , I'm excited .

00:46.546 --> 00:48.768
The team's excited . We're prepared and

00:48.768 --> 00:48.700
we're ready to go . Vaccinations are

00:48.700 --> 00:50.478
voluntary and will be given out

00:50.478 --> 00:52.644
systematically to military members and

00:52.644 --> 00:54.644
