More than 160 troops contract flu at Texas base after Hegseth lifts vaccine order
More than 160 troops have contracted influenza at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas in the past few weeks following Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decision earlier this year to end mandatory flu vaccines for service members, a source familiar with the matter told The Hill on Friday.
The Air Force told The Hill that the 37th Training Wing, which is at Lackland in San Antonio, is in “close” coordination with the 59th Medical Wing, the Air Force’s largest medical wing and is “managing a localized influenza outbreak among trainees at Basic Military Training.”

Hey Kegsbreath—I can see that OPSEC and FPCON aren’t the only things you are unbelievably ignorant about. We can add Medical Readiness to the ever growing list!
