12th Combat Aviation Brigade's 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment vaccinated over 30 Soldiers while in Bulgaria for exercise Swift Response, part of DEFENDER-Europe 21 May 8, 2021. With the coordination between Regional Health Command Europe, the Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic sent the 1-214th the Johnson and Johnson Janssen vaccination to support Soldiers during the exercise. Shipping the vaccine required cold-chain management, meaning that the WAHC team shipped the temperature-controlling box with gel packs that remain consistently between 2-8 degrees celsius.

DEFENDER-Europe 21 is a large-scale U.S. Army-led exercise designed to build readiness and interoperability between the U.S., NATO allies and partner militaries.
