Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | DoD could announce mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy as early as Friday: reports Following a rise in COVID-19 cases attributed to the delta variant of the virus, multiple media outlets are reporting that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will seek authority to mandate vaccines for the entire active-duty force. Fox News reports that Austin is expected to formally announce a mandatory vaccine policy for active-duty troops on Friday.
Currently, vaccines for COVID-19 are not fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration and approval for use was granted under an emergency authorization. As a result, mandating the vaccine for military members requires a waiver from President Joe Biden. Fox News reports that Austin will ask for a waiver from Biden on Thursday, followed by formal guidance to the DoD on Friday.

What are my rights?’” Rinckey said. [ link to apnews.com (secure)] Jed Eckert: C'mon! We're all going to die, die standing up!
