DoDMERB in process - should applicants get COVID Vaccine

[Boymomof3]

Our local health department is prioritizing the vaccine roll-out & DS will qualify to get in queue since he works @ a grocery store - once he turns 18 (no school sports, activities right now so he is working to stay busy/save & no lifeguard jobs right now ). Previous vaccinations were not reported to DoDMERB for his exam but would he need to report this vaccine? Would it be best for him to wait - would DoDMERB prefer he not get it? Our youngest son is a pediatric stroke survivor & as a result is considered “high risk” for COVID complications so as a family we do whatever we can to protect him. I don’t want this to get political - to vaccinate or not - as everyone’s reason/story is different. Just more wondering if applicants are able to vaccinate - in DoDMERB’s opinion....

YOU: Google "DoDMERB;" Hit "Questions on the process;" Read paragraph 4

SON:
Q =Previous vaccinations were not reported to DoDMERB for his exam but would he need to report this vaccine?
A = No

Q= Would it be best for him to wait - would DoDMERB prefer he not get it?
A= No. If eligible, CDC recommends he gets the vaccine

Q = Our youngest son is a pediatric stroke survivor & as a result is considered “high risk” for COVID complications so as a family we do whatever we can to protect him. I don’t want this to get political - to vaccinate or not - as everyone’s reason/story is different. Just more wondering if applicants are able to vaccinate - in DoDMERB’s opinion....
A = DoDMERB defers to ALL CDC guidelines
