III MARINE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE
Okinawa, Japan

U.S. Marines and sailors with III Marine Expeditionary Force receive COVID-19 vaccines on Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, Dec. 29, 2020. Each individual had the option to receive or decline the vaccine. Vaccination distribution prioritization focuses on those providing direct medical care, maintaining essential national security and installation functions, deploying forces, and those at the highest risk for developing severe illness from COVID-19. The vaccine was administered to III MEF medical and installation personnel, which were identified as the first phase of the DOD COVID-19 vaccine plan, to remain a lethal and ready expeditionary fighting force.
