00:01.740 --> 00:03.796
recently , a joint team of medical ,

00:03.796 --> 00:05.851
logistical and operational guardsmen

00:05.851 --> 00:07.907
based out of Honolulu County flew to

00:07.907 --> 00:09.796
the counties of Hawaii , Maui and

00:09.796 --> 00:11.796
Hawaii via C 17 to vaccinate fellow

00:11.796 --> 00:14.018
guardsmen who have been assigned to the

00:14.018 --> 00:17.070
co vid pandemic response . You're

00:17.070 --> 00:19.014
afraid of needles ? Had a reaction

00:19.014 --> 00:21.292
before , All right . Perfect guardsmen ,

00:21.292 --> 00:23.348
many of whom have been activated for

00:23.348 --> 00:25.292
over 90 days , have been providing

00:25.292 --> 00:27.181
temperature screening at airports

00:27.181 --> 00:29.348
throughout the state , supporting mass

00:29.348 --> 00:31.292
testing efforts in each county and

00:31.292 --> 00:33.070
assisting in health agencies in

00:33.070 --> 00:35.150
education efforts . Hi , sir . Just

00:35.150 --> 00:37.372
roll your sleeve . All of it to the top

00:37.372 --> 00:40.370
of me on that left side , they poke .

00:44.440 --> 00:46.662
That's it , sir , I think it's just the

00:46.662 --> 00:49.110
first step in recognizing here is a

00:49.110 --> 00:51.054
task force and as a community that

00:51.054 --> 00:53.166
we're trying to end , you know , Kobe

00:53.166 --> 00:55.210
19 . And , you know , hopefully it

00:55.220 --> 00:57.387
betters our community by building herd

00:57.387 --> 00:59.387
immunity and protecting also for my

00:59.387 --> 01:01.442
family , because my wife is pregnant

01:01.442 --> 01:03.442
and have three kids at home , so it

01:03.442 --> 01:05.680
helps protect them as well . Yeah ,

01:05.690 --> 01:07.746
we're looking forward to just taking

01:07.746 --> 01:09.634
this first step in protecting our

01:09.634 --> 01:11.690
community here in Maui . This is the

01:11.690 --> 01:13.579
first round of vaccines for these

01:13.579 --> 01:15.801
Guardsmen . But this is Master Sergeant

01:15.801 --> 01:17.912
Andrew Lee Jackson reporting with the

01:17.912 --> 01:19.550
Hawaii National Guard .
