Deployment Medical Information Sheets (DMIS) can be accessed at: http://chppm-www.apgea.army.mil/dcpm/CDI/DMIS.htm. The purpose of the Deployment Medication Information Sheets is to provide the soldiers and concerned family members with information on vaccines and other preventive medications they will receive in preparation for movement and/or during their deployment. Each DMIS provides basic information in laymen's terms and is divided by subheadings of uses, how to use, side effects, precautions, drug interactions, and notes.
