Department of Defense requiring all components to certify that they are no longer implementing vaccine mandate by March 17, 2023

Each branch of the U.S. military is undergoing a review of their records to ensure that service members who refused to take a COVID-19 vaccine are not passed over for promotions after the Defense Department ended the vaccine mandate last month.
The Pentagon issued a memo on Friday instructing that all military services "formally rescind any policies, directives, and guidance implementing those vaccination mandates as soon as possible, if they have not already done so."
Defense Department component heads were given a March 17, 2023, deadline to certify that they've changed their policies.
There was no mention of whether service members who were discharged for refusing the shot will be reinstated.
