The Hawai‘i National Guard delivered COVID-19 vaccines to HING members activated for the pandemic response, known as Operation New Hope on January 5, 2021. Vaccines were picked up from Tripler Army Medical Center and flown on a C-17 Globemaster to Hawai‘i, Maui, and Kaua‘i counties. Guard members from each task force would walk up into the plane to receive their optional vaccine. The operation took place over the course of a single day.
