Please read and sign the following statement. If you feel you need additional information or have any questions regarding the medical risks of deployment or questions regarding the medical clearance process, please ask the CDC Occupational Health Clinic medical staff.

Deployment on a CDC/ATSDR response team could involve physical and emotional stressors and hazards, including but not limited to:

· rapid deployment to any location upon short notice

· deployment lengths lasting weeks to months

· separation from family and friends

· personal security issues

· sleep deprivation, time zone changes and irregular sleep schedules

· irregular quality, availability and variety of meals

· exposures to extremes of climate and altitude

· limited availability of immediate medical care

· lack of refrigeration or electricity for medications, medical supplies or equipment

· increased physical demands related to prolonged standing, walking, or exertion

· routine use of personal protective equipment such as respirators and protective clothing

· possible exposure to infectious organisms, chemical or radiologic agents

· risk related to allergy, adverse events or side effects from medications, vaccines or other required pharmaceutical interventions

· for pregnant women, possible risk to a developing fetus

· lifting and moving containers, equipment and boxes (approximately 40-50 lbs, and often repetitively)

· insect bites / stings

· loud noises (machinery and aircraft)

I have read the above medical questionnaire and statements. I have answered all questions accurately and to the best of my knowledge. I realize that further information or testing may be needed from my private physician or other sources to clarify my fitness for this duty. I know of no condition which would impair my ability to function fully on a CDC response team now or for the following year.
