First COVID-19 Vaccine In Escambia County Arrives At Naval Hospital Pensacola

December 16, 2020

The first  shipment of COVID-19 vaccine in Escambia County arrived Tuesday in Escambia County at Naval Hospital Pensacola. The first vaccinations at the facility are expected to begin on Wednesday.

Vaccination is voluntary and, in addition to front line health care workers, commands are coordinating with installation leadership to administer vaccines to first responders, such as emergency management service personnel and security forces.

Naval Hospital Pensacola was one of the facilities selected to receive the vaccine in a phased, standardized and coordinated strategy for prioritizing and administering the vaccine.

    Here’s a neat fun fact…

    In 1986, Congress passed a law that protects vaccine manufacturers from being sued in civil personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits resulting from vaccine injuries.

    Imagine the needle being administered mandatory, by force, against your free will…. Yet these multi billion dollar global companies are immune from accountability…

    What Retired HT1 said. Hope retired HT1 educates the others that do not know any better.

    @Retired: The anthrax vax hadn’t been approved by the FDA when the military created the anthrax vax program. Completely different situation.

    So glad that this is voluntary for the sailors. I’ll bet a lot of them are relieved that they aren’t going to be forced to take this like guinea pigs like had happened with the Anthrax vaccine.
