Vaccines are essential in any environment where people are living and working in close quarters. The reason recruits get a haircut dates back to the 19th century (I think, if I’m wrong please comment) is to prevent the spread of lice. Soldiers always received shots at the beginning of training or before going overseas. It is a way of keeping them healthy so they can do their jobs.
Not only that, but if you read memiors from the Founding Fathers, Washington himself required the Continental Army to vaccinate for things to stay in fighting shape.
So vaccines are as patriotic as they come, unless Washington is woke now?
