I usually have very bad reactions to immunizations, so I got all of my shots updated 4 days ago (and have been super sick ever since). I spoke to my Army recruiter today and he told me that I will have to get all of those shots again at reception battalion…!!!??? I have a State certified document from my PCP that shows that my vaccines are up to date. I don’t understand why the army would require me to get a vaccine that I received less than a week ago… Is my recruiter wrong about this?

Your medical, dental and eye exams are creating a baseline starting from the day you entered the service. To include the fact they ensure your shot card is updated to reflect that all of your vaccinations are up to date. If you are going into the Military and more specifically into military healthcare you need to prepare yourself. Everyone is getting vaccinated and everyone will feel like dog poo. You aren’t the first new recruit who doesn’t feel well after getting their shots. That’s normal and they know to look for that. <br /><br />You can try and fight it if you want but you will just flag yourself and will be disappointed in what you get in return.

There will be an assembly line, shots, next, shots, next, etc. In my basic the guy in front of me told them he&#39;s allergic to eggs, tough. Well that evening he was carted off in an ambulance. Two days later we were told he won&#39;t be re joining us but he&#39;s ok. Oh, my mother insisted I get a haircut before going. No mom, they will shave my head. Yep they did.

If you are able, show them to Medical in Reception and they will make the call. However.....be prepared to get those shots again. Oh, even if you show up with a shaved and bald head....you&#39;re still gonna get slapped in the barber chair for a haircut.

If I&#39;m wrong, then have at it, otherwise enjoy the show.

I thought I would post an update in case if anyone is reading this in the future. The Army did not require me to get additional immunizations for most of my shots, they took blood samples during reception and found that I did not have immunity to Hepatitis so they did required me to get those shots again, as well as the Aedonovirus and PB shots. But I was able to prevent myself from having to get the entire round of immunizations during initial processing.
