Create vaccine army to administer drug

January 10, 2021 11:00 pm • Last Updated: January 11, 2021 3:50 pm

On Jan. 2, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, suggested using retired medical personnel to administer the COVID-19 vaccine. The nation can also recruit Type 1 diabetics who are insulin dependent. They can easily be trained to administer the vaccine with medical personnel supervising.

I agree with Romney that all should be paid for their services.

Passing the Defense Act would bring in thousands of medical personnel from our Armed Forces.
