Children enrolled in Air Force children’s and youth programs are now required to be vaccinated for the H1N1 (swine flu) virus.
The directive is contained in an undated memorandum from Director of Air Force Services Charles Milam, issued to all child development centers, family child care and youth/school age programs.
Milam wrote that the Air Force was following a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on H1N1 vaccines.
The memo cited Air Force Joint Instruction 48-110, which says all teachers, employees, volunteers and children attending Defense Department-sponsored schools or childcare centers must be up to date on “appropriate” vaccinations.
All active-duty troops and mobilized reservists are already required by the Defense Department to receive swine flu vaccinations.
