917th Wing guards against H1N1
Tech. Sgt. Jason Kennedy, a fuels technician for the 917th Logistics Readiness Squadron on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., grimaces as he receives a H1N1 flu vaccination January 8, 2010 during his Unit Training Assembly (UTA) weekend. Mass vaccinations took place over the UTA weekend at the 917th Medical Squadron on Barksdale. The seasonal influenza vaccinations given every year do not protect against the pandemic H1N1 influenza. Because of this, the H1N1 vaccinations are recommended for all and mandatory for military members. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Senior Airman Crystal Marie Jordan)
