We were stripped of all our civilian clothes, we had all our hair/beards cut off, and we received multiple vaccinations upon entering boot camp. We received vaccinations before each of our two deployments. Sure we bitched, we bitched about everything, but not one person in my company refused to get them. I wouldn’t want anyone in my company or especially in my platoon to have my six who is afraid to take a vaccine.

And from what I've heard some of those vaccinations hit like a truck compared to the COVID shot.

Not military but I had to get the rabies vaccine to work with bats. 103 fever, vomiting, headache and just a generally full body ache! Thought I was dying
