Vaccine for NROTC Midshipmen!

[nrotcmid23]

Hear ye, hear ye! RDML Sands (my new favorite person) has designated NROTC Midshipmen as being part of DoD vaccination group 1b (deploying in <3 months), meaning that we're eligible for the vaccine right now! Similar to USNA, this was done so that we can complete our summer cruise requirement this summer. I'm absolutely ecstatic and have been speed dialing vaccine clinic all day.

More importantly though, this means I no longer have to lay siege to the Naval Academy to get one of their vaccines (kidding (or am I?)).

Begone! There’s hardly enough for here for us!

Tip: For what it’s worth, to anyone looking to get vaccinated and is eligible, in my state CVS pharmacy has a great vaccine program and it’s very easy to sign up on their website. If you have CVS where you live give it a try.

Is the announcement from RDML Sands posted anywhere?

Wonderful news.

BTW, Superintendent Buck spoke to congress about needing VAX for USNA and NROTC...I glad he spoke to the entire Navy family. Not only USNA.

My MIDN at ND got his first vaccine a few weeks ago.

This is all I see: https://www.navytimes.com/news/your...-to-vaccinate-midshipmen-for-summer-training/

It is true. I am a 4/C at Virginia Tech right now. We were briefed yesterday that all scholarship MIDN would be receiving the vaccine in order to go on summer cruise.

My MIDN at ND is getting his 2nd shot on Monday. Indiana was scheduling reservist.

Since NROTC MIDN are under the DoD Phase 1b, can we get our vaccine from civilian providers or does it have to be from a DoD entity?

Anywhere that gets you in! My unit is encouraging civilian providers because it’s far faster than an MTF... classic
