Background: Readiness in the military is vital to our national security. With greater education, screening, and policy on prevention, readiness will improve. There are required vaccines in the military based on location; optional vaccines are often not screened for. Due to everchanging environments, there are gaps in education and training relating to health prevention. Purpose: The purpose of this DNP project was to educate military healthcare professionals and Army medical recruiters about available preventive health care services with an emphasis on COVID-19 and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. Methods: This quality improvement project targeted 145 Soldiers in a Northeast Medical Recruiting Battalion and included education sessions regarding preventive medicine. A paired t-test was conducted in the population sampled to compare perceived knowledge and vaccine hesitancy pre and post education intervention. Measurements were vaccine hesitancy and perceived knowledge using two distinct surveys as instruments. Results: A total of 30 participants attended the education sessions. There was improvement in perceived knowledge from an education intervention. The paired t (27) =-2.788, p= 0.005 validate the achievement of education and perceived knowledge increase. However, there was no significant differences in vaccine hesitancy following the education intervention, paired t (15) = 1.371, p= 0.095. Conclusion: Education is a start, however, not enough to have an impact on vaccine hesitancy and acceptance rates. There are missed opportunities in the military primary care setting and policy development that will aid in force health protection. Implications: Actions need to be taken to elevate and maintain the health of the force.
