ccs military recruitment case

Hi,
I think the adult vaccination requirements apply for military recruits also. They will need, in addition, be vaccinated for Meningococcal vaccines. See the adult vaccine recommendations below Source
http://www.nfid.org/pdf/factsheets/adultqa.pdf All adults require tetanus and diphtheria (Td) immunizations at 10 year intervals throughout their lives. Adults
who deferred Td boosters during 2001 and early 2002 because of vaccine shortages should get back on track –
the supply problems have been resolved. Additionally, adults younger than 65 years of age should substitute a
tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination for one Td booster.
Adults born after 1956 who are not immune to measles, mumps, or rubella should be immunized.
Women 26 years of age or younger should be immunized against human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that
causes about 70 percent of all cervical cancer cases in the U.S.
All adults 65 years of age or older, as well as persons 2 to 64 years of age who have diabetes or chronic heart,
lung, liver or kidney disorders need protection against pneumococcal disease, and should consult their
healthcare providers regarding this vaccine.
Influenza vaccination is recommended for all adults 50 years of age or older, women who will be pregnant
during influenza season, and residents of long-term care facilities, as well as for all children 6 to 59 months of
age, persons 5 years of age and older who have certain chronic illnesses and persons 5 to 18 years of age who
receive chronic aspirin therapy. Other individuals who should seek annual influenza immunization include
healthcare workers and those who live with high-risk persons, including those who live with or who provide
care for infants younger than 6 months of age.
Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for adults in certain high-risk groups, such as healthcare workers and
public safety workers exposed to blood on the job, household and sex contacts of persons with chronic hepatitis
B virus (HBV) infection, sexually active people who are not in long-term, mutually monogamous relationships,
people seeking evaluation or treatment for sexually-transmitted disease (STD), men who have sex with men,
injection drug users, travelers to countries where HBV infection is common, people with end-stage renal disease
and HIV-infected persons. Hepatitis B vaccine is also recommended for anyone seeking protection from HBV
infection. To increase vaccination rates among people at highest risk for HBV infection, hepatitis B vaccine is
recommended for all adults in the following settings: STD treatment facilities, HIV testing and treatment
facilities, facilities providing drug-abuse treatment and prevention services, healthcare settings targeting services
to injection-drug users or men who have sex with men, correctional facilities, end-stage renal disease programs
and facilities for chronic hemodialysis patients, and institutions and nonresidential daycare facilities for persons
with developmental disabilities.
Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for adults in certain high risk groups including travelers to countries where
hepatitis A is common, people with chronic liver disease, people who have blood clotting-factor disorders such
as hemophilia, men who have sex with men, and users of injection and non-injection illegal drugs.
Varicella vaccine is recommended for all adults who have not had chickenpox and have not been immunized
previously against chickenpox, including teachers of young children and day care workers, residents and staff in
institutional settings, military personnel, nonpregnant women of childbearing age, international travelers,
healthcare workers and family members of immunocompromised persons.
Meningococcal vaccination is recommended for adults (not previously immunized with the meningococcal
conjugate vaccine) with asplenia or terminal complement deficiencies, who will be first year college students
living in dormitories, are military recruits or certain laboratory workers, or who will be traveling to or living in
countries in which meningococcal disease is common. The vaccine is also recommended for administration to
all adolescents at the 11- to 12-year-old healthcare visit.
Adults 60 years of age and older should receive a single dose of zoster vaccine whether or not they report a prior
episode of herpes zoster (shingles). Persons with chronic medical conditions may be vaccinated unless a
contraindication or precaution exists for their condition.
