“The leader of the Oklahoma National Guard has released a memo that says no service member will be required to get a COVID-19 vaccination. The move, ordered by Adjutant General Thomas Mancino, directly goes against a federal mandate saying otherwise. There will be ‘no negative administrative or legal action’ taken against members who opt out of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the memo sent last week”

“The Pentagon said it would respond to Oklahoma's Republican governor after the state's National Guard indicated it would thwart a Defense Department mandate that troops be vaccinated against Covid-19 ... ‘We are aware of the memo issued by the Oklahoma Adjutant General regarding COVID vaccination for Guardsmen and the governor's letter requesting exemption. We will respond to the governor appropriately,’ Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.”
