What vaccinations do you see as absolutely necessary for the EMS worker? And what vacc's do you recommend for the EMS worker? Haven't heard a word said about it in my squad and would like you all's input.
DPT(Polio)(10years)
You are thinking of diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus. IPV is the polio one.
And yellow fever, where are you work?

You are cured.
Yes, the reaction Brown had when Brown found out what toxic nasty shyte is put into vaccines.
Oh poor Edward Jenner would spin in his grave ....
Yellow Fever(10year)
Hep A & B (25 years-lifetime, depending on who you reference)
MMR (childhood; 2 vaccinations before 18yo usually, but some only get one)
DPT(Polio)(10years), and
Typhoid(3 years) I would say are minimums.
If you're outside the states, I'd also recommend the BCG for Tb (it's a requirement for work in some countries like S. Africa); it is not available in the US.
Japanese encephalitis if you're going to work/travel in Asia.
Then, for the females out there, I'd recommend the HPV vaccination; it's not for EMS, but because it's one of the easiest spreadable STDs out there and puts women at risk for cervical cancer, you should consider it anyway.
HPV: why not guys too? Trust me...
BCG: new ones are being invented as we blog, but the traditional BCG is not effective for adults. It may be a requirement for some governments, but it is being replaced one of these days. (Many of those governments requiring it are also geographic sources for antibiotic resistant strains of bugs and influenza, etc).
i don't do vaccines is that going to be a problem in ems?
i know that they try and bully you into getting a lot of vaccinations for your children by telling you that they won't be allowed in school etc..
which is bullspit, you can opt out on religious grounds
