Stay deployment ready: A reminder to Marines to receive immunizations
Summary
Maj. Gen. Jon M. Davis, commanding general of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, takes the lead on preventative disease control with a flu shot and two other shots to keep him deployment ready. “I had my shots first because it’s leading from the front,” Davis said. “If I get the flu and go down, I can’t effectively lead the troops. The same goes for all Marines down to the lowest echelon of leadership. This is the right thing to do and this is how we’re going to prepare for flu season.” Between Sept. 26 and Sept. 30, 2nd MAW is carrying out a vaccination initiative to achieve a high level of flu season readiness.
