cilitated a point-of-distribution event inside
an aircraft hangar to administer the year-
ly flu vaccine to base civilian and military
personnel Jan. 14.
A POD is an organized way of efficient-
ly distributing a vaccine to a large amount
of personnel.
“We are trying to vaccinate the re-

haven’t received the flu vaccine yet,” said
Col. Bernard Van Pelt, Diagnostic and
Therapeutic Squadron flight commander.
The influenza vaccine is a mandatory
readiness item for active-duty personnel.
Van Pelt noted more than 50 percent of the
base population had already been vaccinat-
ed before Jan. 14, but several Airmen need-
ed to be vaccinated as quickly as possible.
“The PODs are manned by medical per-
sonnel to administer the flu shot and ac-
cess patient’s files to log who has received
the shot,” Van Pelt said. “Those who volun-
teered from other units on the base worked
as manpower to help guide people and keep
the lines moving smoothly.”
Patients who received the flu vaccine at
the POD left surprised by its efficiency.
“My experience during the POD was
great; everything was easy to understand
and turned out to be an effortless process,”
said Airman 1st Class Tyler Burch, 60th
Communications Squadron client systems
technician. “The time it took me to sign in 3
and sign out was only about three minutes,
and for how many people were in there, I
was pretty surprised.” 4
Team Travis executed the mass inoc-
ulation for the first time inside their C-17
Globemaster III dual-bay hangar to accom-
modate the large numbers of personnel.
“I believe this is the most effective way
to distribute vaccines to a large group of
people in a reasonable amount of time,”
said Burch.
While the POD is usually held at the
base gym, according to Van Pelt, the gym’s
normal capacity in a day ranges from 150 to
300 patients; this venue change increased
the amount of patients seen to more than
1,200.
“Finding the best way to distribute vac-
cines is incredibly important for the read-
iness of our Airmen, especially now with
this pandemic,” Van Pelt said. “Everyone is
