Evidently these Afghans are bringing in measles and other diseases and are free to enter towns near the Bases! I'm hoping to get a Doctor to respond but I'm sure some expert will tackle this question

I'm 68.
I updated all my vaccinations last year.
Got vaccination for influenza and part 2 pneumonia, tetanus, diphtheria.
This year I received my covid shots and had to wait 60 days between my 1st shingles and 2nd vaccination and 2nd Covid. You can ask your doctor or pharmacist what you may require.
My Mom had shingles and it was extremely painful for her.
I grew up getting vaccinations.
So did most of us.
No vaccination, no going to school.
If you travel to different countries, certain vaccinations against disease are mandatory.
Many diseases have been eradicated and/or controlled thanks to science and preventative vaccines.
I'm far less concerned about "Afghans bringing measles and other diseases" than I am about Xenophobic American Antivaxxers who continue to spread ignorance, misinformation and this awful virus.
