Does any one know if the Covid-19 vaccine is mandatory in the military or if it is going to be?

If it’s going to mandatory, they’ll let you know.

The plaque series ws nice also.

When was the last time you were asked if it was okay to give you a vaccine?? Well by a milliary doc anyways. just be happy it's been approved by the fda before they gave it to you......as far as you know

Most likely... the Smallpox, Anthrax, and several other vaccinations are or have been mandatory at some point or are still. This is just one more to the list.

Ha,ha,ha, this is real. Are you stupid, dumb or what??

Don't know if it's mandatory for active duty, but it is going to be available for veterans. You can sign up on the VA website and learn more.

The last I heard, for now, US troops won't be required to get the vaccine. The DOD have said that inoculations will remain voluntary once the FDA give the OK. I know that during Desert Strom, all were required to take the anthrax vaccine!! I wonder what was the change of heart???

According to the V the first first doses will be gave to the vets in rest, assisted living and then to medical personnel. then it will go yo the vets as notified by their va team.
As for active of course you will really have no choice. You are given medications and shots as needed to allow you to keep your mission whatever it is and complete your assigned duties.and it can also depend on where you are or will be. That was way back when in the sixties.

What do you think? Roll up your sleeve.

Why sweat over whether Covid19 vaccine is mandatory or not? As a military man or has been, you don't question your superiors. Now, when you're out: sweat it out all you want. As for me, anytime and everytime there's vaccine available for veterans, I take 'em. Heck, you gave up your life once when you served (or was forced by draft), why question it now? The VA will always protect those that protected, and even those that were forced (drafted) to protect the US during, before and after any given war that threatened US values of life and property. Hear me?
