GREAK LAKES, Ill. (May 26, 2021) Medical personnel from the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center (FHCC) and the surrounding Great Lakes area prepare vaccinations for use inside Pacific Drill Hall at Recruit Training Command (RTC). All medical staff that prepare the vaccine are required to attend a class and complete a personnel qualification standard process before handling the preparations of the vaccine and are observed by a seasoned pharmacy technician at all times. Recruits at RTC are now eligible to volunteer for the shots allowing them to leave boot camp fully vaccinated. Medical staff from the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center and commands in the surrounding Great Lakes area work together to facilitate the evolution. More than 40,000 recruits train annually from the Navy's only boot camp.
