1000% yes

Also, if you're not vaccinated, you are running out of time for the two shot series. I-day is looming.

My son got the J and J, which is only one shot. If you are running out of time you might consider it. My DS got his shot at the beginning of April and it made it easier to schedule the rest of the shots he needed, another varicella, hep A, polio, TDap and flu.

Many pharmacies don't carry J&J anymore, because J&J is not supposed to be administered to those who can get the other vaccines, per the FDA.

Thank you! I am in the boat of people that hasn’t heard back from the Academy yet, but I wanted to get on top of all of those things in case I do get a spot. I will look into what I can get later today

If your Plan B includes some form of ROTC, you may have similar vaccine requirements.
