. All Department of Defense personnel and beneficiaries have been eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as of April 19, but many service members have declined to take it. The reasons why vary. Some are skeptical of the vaccine, looking back at the U.S. government’s response to Agent Orange or past vaccines such as the anthrax vaccine. Others see vaccination and the coronavirus pandemic as a whole as a political issue. And because the DOD has not mandated the vaccine, some are exercising their right to refuse it. This week’s Military Matters investigates why service members aren’t taking the vaccine, with guests Dr. Kamal Kalsi, an ER doctor and lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve; Defense One reporter Elizabeth Howe; and Dr. Asha George from the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense.
