# USEUCOM Sets Contractor Medical Entry Requirements

United States European Command (USEUCOM) medical-entry guidance applies to contractors and subcontractors traveling to support USEUCOM missions, regardless of deployment duration. Companies are responsible for assessing personnel fitness for deployment and ensuring access to necessary care and medication through host-nation medical facilities. Contractors should coordinate medical readiness and waiver procedures with the supported Service component. The annual influenza vaccine is voluntary for covered personnel and is no longer a mandatory theater-entry requirement.

- Contractors should identify the supported Service component and coordinate its medical-readiness and waiver procedures before deployment.
- Companies are responsible for evaluating employee fitness and planning for access to required care or medication through host-nation medical facilities.
- Medical waiver contacts are listed for Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and special operations personnel; Navy waiver submissions are due 30 days before deployment.
- The influenza vaccine is voluntary under this guidance, so businesses should not treat it as a mandatory theater-entry condition.
