Pentagon moves to take back troops discharged over COVID-19 vaccine refusals

  • The Defense Department instructed military services to contact service members dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine to offer them reinstatement opportunities and benefits.
  • At least 8,200 service members were discharged in 2021 for not complying with the vaccine mandate, which was made mandatory in August 2021.
  • Eligible troops can return at their previous rank and are offered back pay and benefits, but must adhere to health and fitness standards.
  • Darin Selnick stated that the vaccine mandate was an 'unfair, overbroad, and completely unnecessary burden' on service members.
