The COVID-19 vaccine may not be mandatory for military personnel, but service members and employees at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, are finding that their freedoms will remain curtailed as long as they aren't vaccinated.
Col. Anthony Mastalir, commander of the 30th Space Wing, issued a public health directive Feb. 21 spelling out the base's continued restrictions under the pandemic -- an effort to further reduce the spread of the coronavirus and maintain readiness.
