SAN DIEGO (Oct. 5, 2020) Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Nicole Walton, a Sailor assigned to Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD), receives a flu vaccine Oct. 5. Hospital Corpsmen and Sailors manned outdoor shot stations to efficiently process patients as they received their flu vaccinations. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way many facets of healthcare are conducted, and NMCSD's immunization clinic has adapted some of its techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high-quality healthcare they've come to expect. NMCSD's mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high quality healthcare services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research. NMCSD employs more than 6,000 active duty military personnel, civilians and contractors in Southern California to provide patients with world-class care anytime, anywhere.
