BARRIGADA, Guam (June 11, 2021) - Congratulations to Evelyn Bernaldez of Dededo, who received the 100,000th COVID-19 vaccine dose given at the University of Guam Calvo Fieldhouse Clinic in Mangilao on June 11.

“I feel safer. I feel happy!,” said Benaldez. “I advise people to get their shot if they want to travel like us, they would be safer.”

To date, the 100k doses given at the field house represents about two-thirds of the doses given islandwide. Thank you to all the volunteers, nurses, doctors and vaccinators for stepping up and achieving this milestone. Together, we are making a difference in keeping the island safe.
