Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday asked a federal judge to grant a preliminary injunction halting the Defense Department’s coronavirus vaccine requirement for members of the Texas National Guard, according to court documents.
The service required all active-duty troops to become fully vaccinated by Nov. 2 after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in August ordered all service members to receive the vaccine.
So far, the service has approved 1,133 medical exemptions, 184 administrative exemptions, but no religious exemptions for its active-duty force of about 326,000, the service said Tuesday.
