    Are there any vaccines that are REQUIRED before heading to training? Perhaps this is something one does personally and the trucking compabies could care less but I was just wondering since I will be heading out in December.

    Thanks.

    I would research the dangers of vaccines if I were you. There is a lot of bad stuff on the internet about vaccines.
