Military Members are Required to get the Covid Vaccine. Are Medical or Religious Exemptions Granted?
The Defense Department has made it clear for some time that all service members must be fully vaccinated again Covid-19, and this includes all reserve component members.
Unless there was an approved exemption, the consequences of non-compliance can be severe, including prosecution under Articles 90 and 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and discharge. Has there been a process for requesting an exemption on medical or religious grounds?
How likely was it that those requests were granted? Steve and Patty Shewmaker discuss.
