Each year military treatment facilities initiate early strategic planning to coordinate and execute mass vaccination events that are critical to force health and medical readiness. These events also support the families and staff assigned to military instillations who also support the mission.

The Influenza vaccine is recommended for all people six months and older and is critical for individuals with vulnerable health concerns, such as, children age two to four, the elderly, pregnant women regardless of trimester, and immunocompromised individuals.
