without charge upon presentation of official orders or authorization.

of disease such as tetanus, smallpox, or other infectious diseases associated with their

be administered at military activities without charge to the employee.
(2) The installation or activity commander, upon the recommendation of the
senior medical officer, may provide immunizations against diseases which may be a
significant cause of lost man-hours of work. Such immunizations will be voluntary and

its territories, commonwealths, or possessions under Armed Forces' sponsorship will
receive those immunizations required for entry into the United States from that country.

United States and Canada under Armed Forces' auspices will receive immunizations
and reimmunizations in accordance with the requirements for military dependents. The
overseas commander, upon the recommendation of the senior medical officer, may
