Just spoke with retention and was told a position at walter reed research institute was available for me.
Iโm a 68W E5 promotable (if that matters lol) and was wondering if anyone has anymore information about the location, job, and the workplace environment.
Thanks in advance

Within weeks, scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research expect to announce that they have developed a vaccine that protects people from COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as from previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide.
.
The achievement is the result of almost two years of work on the virus. The Army lab received its first DNA sequencing of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020. Very early on, Walter Reedโs infectious diseases branch decided to focus on making a vaccine that would work against not just the existing strain but all of its potential variants as well.
.
Walter Reedโsย Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine, or SpFN, completed animal trials earlier this year with positive results. Phase 1 of human trials, which tested the vaccine against Omicron and the other variants, wrapped up this month, again with positive results that are undergoing final review, Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of Walter Reedโs infectious diseases branch, said in an exclusive interview withย Defense One.
.
Unlike existing vaccines, Walter Reedโs SpFN uses a soccer ball-shaped protein with 24 faces for its vaccine, which allows scientists to attach the spikes of multiple coronavirus strains on different faces of the protein.

>โIt's very exciting to get to this point for our entire team and I think for the entire Army as well,โ Modjarrad said.
.
The vaccineโs human trials took longer than expected, he said, because the lab needed to test the vaccine on subjects who had neither been vaccinated nor previously infected with COVID. The rapid spread of the Delta and Omicron variants made that difficult.
.
>โWith Omicron, there's no way really to escape this virus. You're not going to be able to avoid it. So I think pretty soon either the whole world will be vaccinated or have been infected,โ Modjarrad said.
.
The next step is seeing how the new pan-coronavirus vaccine interacts with people who were previously vaccinated or previously sick. Walter Reed will be hiring a yet-to-be-named industry partner for that wider rollout.
