USFK Reportedly Offers to Vaccinate ROK Troops with Johnson & Johnson Vaccine
It will be interesting to see how many ROK troops end of taking the vaccine if allowed considering the bad press the vaccine has received due to the blood clot issue:
The U.S. military wants to give Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine to the South Korean government to vaccinate its troops, two Ministry of National Defense officials told Stars and Stripes on Tuesday.
U.S. Forces Korea offered the one-shot vaccine a few days ago, according to a South Korean defense official who did not wish to be identified due to ongoing discussions.

That’s actually the shot I want, just not sure if it offered in Europe.
I think that EUSA and USFK have their priorities mixed up. The leadership is just trying to expound or show off their existing. I as a retired Soldier with 30 years of service tried to get a second dose of the vaccine last month. I was told that I would be contacted but was never done. I believe that leadership is just looking out for their own.
Already got it. Arm was sore for a day or so, but I never got sick. No blood clots either.
Much ado about nothing, I believe.
