1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,607 The most rewarding thing that I can do 2 00:00:04,607 --> 00:00:07,030 is help somebody in a time of need and 3 00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:09,197 later on see them and they say , Hey , 4 00:00:09,197 --> 00:00:11,363 Doc , thanks for helping me out when I 5 00:00:11,363 --> 00:00:13,586 was sick . That , to me , is what makes 6 00:00:13,586 --> 00:00:15,641 it worth worthwhile . Major Clifford 7 00:00:15,641 --> 00:00:17,419 Nolt and the chief of aerospace 8 00:00:17,419 --> 00:00:20,350 medicine at Tyndall Air Force Base , E 9 00:00:20,350 --> 00:00:22,370 Team Kendall , has been fortunate 10 00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:24,314 enough to get their first round of 11 00:00:24,314 --> 00:00:26,410 vaccines we are expecting roll out 12 00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:28,531 through next week . Once Team Tyndall 13 00:00:28,531 --> 00:00:31,480 gets the vaccine , the eligible vaccine 14 00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:34,330 recipients are all active duty GS and 15 00:00:34,330 --> 00:00:36,520 civilians who work on base . Now we do 16 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,576 have to follow the D . O D schema on 17 00:00:38,576 --> 00:00:40,353 prioritization , which includes 18 00:00:40,353 --> 00:00:42,464 healthcare workers , first responders 19 00:00:42,464 --> 00:00:44,631 and heading on to homeland defense and 20 00:00:44,631 --> 00:00:46,464 deploying personnel prior to the 21 00:00:46,464 --> 00:00:48,460 general population . I received my 22 00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:51,040 vaccine six days ago , excited to say 23 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,096 that I only had mild soreness at the 24 00:00:53,096 --> 00:00:55,096 site where I got the vaccine . That 25 00:00:55,096 --> 00:00:57,373 being said , I do expect more symptoms . 26 00:00:57,373 --> 00:00:59,540 The second dose , which is expected 28 27 00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:01,600 days after the initial dose . I do 28 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,489 consider myself fortunate to have 29 00:01:03,489 --> 00:01:05,544 gotten the vaccine recently and look 30 00:01:05,544 --> 00:01:07,767 forward to that being offered to all of 31 00:01:07,767 --> 00:01:09,767 team Tyndall in the near future . I 32 00:01:09,767 --> 00:01:09,560 understand that some people have 33 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,449 concerns about the safety of this 34 00:01:11,449 --> 00:01:13,560 vaccine . It is a brand new vaccine , 35 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,504 and it's a new method of vaccine , 36 00:01:15,504 --> 00:01:17,727 which we're very excited about . It's a 37 00:01:17,727 --> 00:01:19,838 messenger RNA vaccine . This is a new 38 00:01:19,838 --> 00:01:22,060 method of approaching vaccines where we 39 00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:24,282 take a protein , it's on the outside of 40 00:01:24,282 --> 00:01:26,393 the virus shell and create antibodies 41 00:01:26,393 --> 00:01:28,530 against that particular protein . And 42 00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:30,752 it's the protein that attach is toe our 43 00:01:30,752 --> 00:01:32,974 cells . In a military sense , you could 44 00:01:32,974 --> 00:01:35,086 say this is a radar system that we're 45 00:01:35,086 --> 00:01:37,197 creating . The radar is being trained 46 00:01:37,197 --> 00:01:39,419 to recognize this protein , which is on 47 00:01:39,419 --> 00:01:41,641 the outside of the coronavirus shell of 48 00:01:41,641 --> 00:01:43,863 the virus . So we're building the radar 49 00:01:43,863 --> 00:01:46,450 to recognize those proteins . So far , 50 00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:48,510 the safety data bears out this is a 51 00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:51,720 safe vaccine . The vaccine is the 52 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,340 single biggest step that we can dio to 53 00:01:54,340 --> 00:01:56,570 get us to the new normal
