 Hello, my name is Phil Nex. I'm the team commander for the Trauma Critical Care Team, part of the National Disaster Medical System, United States Department of Health and Human Services. And our team's here in Palau to augment their Ministry of Health vaccination pod here at the National Gymnasium. So the Trauma Critical Care Team is made up of over 200 both clinical and non-clinical personnel, including physicians, PAs, nurse practitioners, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and our non-medical support personnel that respond to public health emergencies, natural disasters, that sort of thing. The past year we've been extremely busy on the other side of COVID, and we've actually taken care of critically ill COVID patients in the mainland U.S. hospitals that were completely overwhelmed. You know, this is one of the probably very few, if only, the only place on earth that is COVID-free. We know that the efficacy of this vaccine is extremely effective. Based on my hometown community, we've already seen in the last two weeks a decrease of 25 percent in COVID cases and positively rates. And that's just amazing. So to have the opportunity to come here and minister the vaccine and actually, you know, play a part in helping keeping Palau COVID-free is very worthwhile and very gratifying. Ministering the vaccine here and achieving, you know, pretty close to over 80 percent vaccination of this country will establish herd immunity here. It will keep people safe, and this is the prime example why everybody else in the world really needs to become vaccinated. It really does work and, you know, this country will prove that to the rest of the world that it does work and it will keep Palau safe. One pretty unique aspect of our team is we're all intermittent federal employees. We're all active clinically in our own jobs back home in the U.S. And our team covers, you know, every state in the United States. I have people from east to west, north to south. So they all make the sacrifice of, you know, breaking away from their families and their jobs to come here and serve the United States, represent the United States and these quite successful missions and really making an impact on health. And in this case, global health.
