Military reinstates mandatory flu shots for recruits amid Air Force outbreak
Original: Military services again requiring recruits to get flu shots as Air Force outbreak grows
US military services are once again requiring new recruits to receive flu vaccinations as an outbreak spreads at an Air Force basic training facility. The renewed mandate follows a period when such requirements had lapsed, and commanders are moving to curb illness among trainees living in close quarters. The story is drawing attention as an early sign of seasonal flu pressure on the armed forces.
Why now: A growing flu outbreak among Air Force trainees is prompting the Pentagon's services to reinstate vaccination requirements, raising concerns about readiness during flu season.
