During the house armed services committee hearing on Feb 17, one of the Reps asked if DoD needed legislation to enforce mandatory vaccination under EUA. DoD said they would get back to him. Same was true with Anthrax, the vaccine wasn’t approved for inhaled vaccine so the service members had to consent and it couldn’t be forced. There was a lawsuit on that one.

Like I stated above, congress is asking about it. The administration will decide how to reply but I bet they pass. The Bush Admin tried it with Anthrax and it went south and ended up in a lawsuit. I have no idea if the Biden Admin wants to do it but my understanding is that around half of service members are declining currently. I haven’t seen hard numbers though.
