Guard To Receive H1N1 Vaccine

All 460,000 Army and Air National Guard members will receive injections of H1N1 influenza vaccine. The Defense Department announced Oct. 29 that it has obtained enough doses to inoculate the entire Active and reserve force. The Army Materiel Agency will begin shipping the vaccine to states in November; timetables for administering the shots are yet to be determined. In the meantime, Guard officials encourage members who can obtain vaccinations through other means to do so.
