Navy blocked from acting against 35 COVID vaccine refusers
WASHINGTON (AP) A federal judge in Texas has granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Navy from acting against 35 sailors for refusing on religious grounds to comply with an order to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
The injunction is a new challenge to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's decision to make vaccinations mandatory for all members of the military. The vaccination requirement allows for exemptions on religious and other grounds, but none of the thousands of requests for religious waivers so far have been granted.
There was no indication that the order would affect service members beyond the 35 sailors who sued Austin and the Navy.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said officials are reviewing the injunction and are in discussion with the Department of Justice as to what options might be available to us going forward.
