Summary
Two Congress members are pushing to make flu shots mandatory for all service members after a major outbreak hit Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, where 275 cases were confirmed—mostly among basic trainees. With shots still available but no longer required, lawmakers say it’s time to reinstate the rule to keep troops healthy and prevent future outbreaks, especially in close-quarters training environments. The amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act is expected to be announced soon.
