Does having prior immunity from Covid-19 provide grounds for a medical exemption for the vaccine?

AR 40-562 2-6 gives and example of evidence of immunity. Just curious if this is worth pursuing, or if I'm reading/interpreting this wrong. Thanks!

No. FRAGO 5 to HQDA EXORD 225-21 (COVID-19 STEADY STATE OPERATIONS) is very specific.
"SERVICE MEMBERS WITH PREVIOUS INFECTIONS OR POSITIVE SEROLOGY ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY EXEMPT FROM FULL VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS"
"SERVICE MEMBERS ARE CONSIDERED FULLY VACCINATED TWO WEEKS POST COMPLETION OF A TWO DOSE SERIES VACCINE OR TWO WEEKS POST COMPLETION OF A ONE-DOSE SERIES VACCINE."

Without being technical about this, you can still transmit the virus to others. So, if you actually do have a choice in this matter (which you probably will not), just get the shot.

In dealing with this on pretty regular basis I would say no...only because the order stated get the vaccine. That is based on the immunity potentially wearing off. BUT it is best to talk to Defense Counsel or your Med Provider for actual legal guidance not from RP Lawyers.
