H1N1 shot available

[DominaMedicus]

should I get the shot before I head out to basic training?
Please advise

We need someone at GLakes to find out if they are giving it there to recruits.

Try having the recruiter find out if it is being given there or not before you get it. If
you do get it, get a writtern copy showing where you had it and who administered it.

Actually I have asked about previous immunizations. The recruiters advised not to bother gathering up records, that they're going to give you all the shots anyway. I just don't want to get the H1N1 if I don't have to.

While there isn't an official update to Navy policy, MILVAX (www.vaccines.mil (http://www.vaccines.mil)) has these policies available:

I'm sure as the supply starts flowing and the major MTFs start receiving their allocations, site specific policies will be promulgated which I suspect will mirror the seasonal influenza requirements.

I would say don't bother..... they will give you eveything you need at RTC. You can count on that.

I agree with Billy, This isn't even about Domina any more.. this is about the lack of Communication from our MTF's..

It mean, just put something out that everyone can understand etc.. Our MTF's know the policy and when and how.. They do..

Why not put it out..

That is all I am saying..

CARRY ON!
