Navy Reinstates Flu Shot Mandate for Sailors | Salt Lake City News
Description
The Navy is reversing course and mandating flu shots for sailors entering basic training, the Naval Academy, and officer programs — a sharp turn from the Defense Secretary’s April decision to make vaccines optional. This shift follows a deadly flu outbreak at an Air Force training center that sickened over 200 recruits and claimed one life, sparking renewed urgency across the military. The Army and Air Force are also reinstating vaccine requirements for key groups, as leaders prioritize readiness over individual choice — even if you’re not required to get vaccinated, the Navy is strongly urging everyone to do so to keep operations running smoothly.
