The Department of Defense is halting all actions relating to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate after President Joe Biden signed a bill, the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, which will bring an end to the mandate, the department said on Dec. 23.
“The NDAA requires that, not later than 30 days after enactment, the Secretary of Defense rescind the mandate that members of the Armed Forces be vaccinated against COVID-19. As a result, the Department will rescind the mandate and is currently in the process of developing further guidance. During this process, we are pausing all actions related to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate,” a Pentagon spokesperson said.
