I know that it's a complicated beast, and it is what it is. Still sucks though.

National guard is supposed to be there for national disasters. Help get water/food into devastated areas. This is a national disaster that effects everyone. We need them sitting up vaccine tents. Bringing in nurses, medics to put the shots into arms.
Let the local health people keep the records. Make the lines and policy about who goes first. Still local control. Come on, those soldiers would love this task. Make a huge difference in people’s lives. Probably their neighbors too.
