    The U.S. Army Cadet Command and Fort Knox command team – Maj. Gen. John Evans Jr. and Command Sgt. Maj. Mario Terenas – received their flu shots Oct. 10 in conjunction with the start of the post’s 2019 flu season immunization campaign, which is planned through November.

    All TRICARE beneficiaries can receive flu shots at the main Exchange Oct. 19, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and at the SRP site Oct. 30-Nov. 1, 3:30-6:30 p.m., and Nov. 4-7, 3:30-7:30 p.m.


    All beneficiaries enrolled in Child and Youth Services, as well as their beneficiary family members and CYS staff, may receive flu vaccines at the Child Development Center Oct. 21 and 29, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
