The U.S. Army is preparing to make COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for all personnel as early as September should the U.S. Food and Drug Administration grant full approval by then.
The Army Times obtained portions of an order sent by Department of the Army Headquarters to the service’s commands.
“Commanders will continue COVID-19 vaccination operations and prepare for a directive to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for service members [on or around] 01 September 2021, pending full FDA licensure,” the order said. “Commands will be prepared to provide a backbrief on servicemember vaccination status and way ahead for completion once the vaccine is mandated.”
