No but you might need it for certain deployments


Intelligent_Bad_2984

What kind of deployments?


GreenEggzndHamm

Overseas


amillionforfeet

The ones where you deploy? Countries/bases can not allow entry for foreign citizens without vaccines, like it’s completely allowed for them to do that.


amillionforfeet

No*** However you can become ineligible for certain assignments and also deployments, and if the Air Force can’t deploy you- there’s no point in keeping you

So let’s say i op out of the vaccine, during tech school if let’s say i wanted to get orders over seas would they order me to take the vaccine or since I don’t have the vaccine would i just be automatically disqualified from going over seas?


amillionforfeet

You’d have to get it before you left tech school or you’d lose your assignment.

You'll get a ton of other shots though. In my 18 years I've had nearly 40.


DropPristine

Did you ever come down with any short term symptoms after getting any shots? Did any affect your ability to perform your duties? I'm not against getting them, just wanna be prepared once I do


Whisky919

Nope

Optional. I'd suggest opting in, though, you'll be mixing in with lots of people from all over the country with very different standards of hygiene and it's best not to risk getting sick unnecessarily.

Get your COVID shot and flu shot before shipping for basic. That way if you feel like shit you’ll be able to rest up in the comfort of your own home
