The readiness of our military forces relies on the health of our servicemembers. To ensure optimum medical protection for our forces, vaccinations are part of the required pre-deployment preparations.
Some deployments require more pre-deployment immunizations than others, dependent upon which part of the world you are deploying to. These preventive medical measures protect our personnel from diseases which may be detrimental to the effectiveness of the force, which in turn could compromise the mission.
