       (U)     IMMUNIZATION: SS shots were administered to all soldiers
               requiring 2.5cc's if they only received 2.5cc prior to

               deployment. A record of all personnel receiving immunization are

               maintained an a d@ita base. Influenza vaccinations were

               administered on 4 Jan 91. Shot records were annotated.

               Coordination with the Sth Evacuation Hospitil made it possible

               for a team to administer the immunization at our site. The
5 U.S.C.       anthrax           vaccine was administered an 15 and 16 January
                                   urgeon's Office wanted the brigade personnel

                                   unization at designated clinics. The brigade

                                       soldiers in the Rrea which require the

               immunization. Hal-F of them have just arrived in theater and have

               no transportation until the krrival of their equipment. The

               remainder of the soldiers are required to maintkin communication

               support on site. The time and transportation required to move

               the brigade to designated clinics would stop the brigade's

               mission. After a long process we finally got the ARCENT Surgeon

               to agree to send teams to our site. We provided transporation

               and ac3ordinated place, time and effort. Some soldiers refused to

               be administered the vaccine, however, after making it a command

               directive and authority under paragraph 5-4, AR 600-20, soldiers

               had to take the vaccine. There were a few personnel who reacted

               to the vaccine. We had planned evacuation procedures thereby

               these emergencies were handled with the most expeditious and

               professional manner.
