DoD Rolls Out COVID-19 Vaccination Plan for Troops, Announces Base Distribution Centers

Thanks for sharing.

Was talking with an Army Nurse that lives next door last night and they are looking at inoculating no more than 10% of a unit at time so units will not be taken out if there are reaction issues.

So, it appears that it will not be mandatory overall as of and for the present. "...to "underscore encouraging all eligible personnel to take it," Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Thomas McCaffery said."

"DoD will consider whether to make COVID-19 vaccines mandatory when they are formally licensed by the FDA, Place said."

"Several leaders also are expected to be jabbed -- Miller, Deputy Secretary David Norquist, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. John Hyten and Senior Enlisted Adviser to the Joint Chiefs Ramon Colon-Lopez -- to "underscore encouraging all eligible personnel to take it," Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Thomas McCaffery said."

"The vaccine will remain voluntary as long as it is distributed under an emergency use authorization, Place said."

""This is not a fully licensed FDA vaccination, and it's the department's policy that it will be voluntary for everyone. So there's no 'ifs ands or buts' about it. Doesn't matter, voluntary for everyone," Place said."
