Pentagon revokes order requiring Covid-19 vaccinations for US troops appeared on www.hindustantimes.com by Hindustan Times.
The Pentagon on Tuesday rescinded a controversial Biden administration mandate requiring that all members of the U.S. armed forces be vaccinated against Covid-19.
US defense secretary Lloyd Austin said in a memo that military leaders still encouraged all service members to get vaccinated and boosted but would no longer discharge those who refuse on religious, administrative or medical grounds.
“The military departments will update the records of such individuals to remove any adverse actions solely associated with denials of such requests, including letters of reprimand,” Austin said.
The US military faced unanticipated resistance among troops to mandatory vaccines – something US defense officials say is the result of misinformation about the safety of the vaccine.
Biden in August 2021 ordered all 1.3 million active members of the US armed forces to get vaccinated against Covid-19 over the objections of Republicans.
According to Defense Department data, 3,717 Marines, 1,816 soldiers and 2,064 sailors have since been discharged for refusing to get vaccinated.
