Abstract:
The United States military immunizes its forces against a variety of infectious diseases of military importance. Military vaccines can be divided into several categories: (1) routinely administered vaccines for recruits and the total force; (2) deployment-specific vaccines, (3) occupational vaccines based on specific job-associated risks, and (4) experimental limited use vaccines for special contingency situations. New vaccines based on new technological advances are being developed to meet the continuous requirements of the military.
