I Prayed have prayed
Father, You have uniquely made each one of us. Thank You that exemptions from the vaccine are available for those who need them. We ask that these exemptions would be honored. In Jesus' name. Amen.

U.S. military service members will be allowed to seek an exemption from the soon-to-be-mandated COVID-19 vaccines, which would be determined by individual military service regulations, a Pentagon spokesperson said.

“There is a religious exemption possibility for any mandatory vaccine, and there’s a process that we go through to counsel the individual both from a medical and from a command perspective about using a religious exemption,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said during a press briefing on Aug. 10…

Service members also will be able to apply for medical exemptions, Kirby said…

A service member can’t request an exemption just because he or she doesn’t want to take the vaccine, Kirby said…

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced on Aug. 9 that the Department of Defense would require all active-duty military members to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

“I want you to know that I will seek the President’s approval to make the vaccines mandatory no later than mid-September, or immediately upon the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensure, whichever comes first,” Austin said in a memo sent to all Pentagon employees…

Austin didn’t mention the possible exemptions, and a Pentagon spokesperson declined to answer at the time.

President Joe Biden expressed his support for the mandate almost immediately…

According to Pentagon, more than 73 percent of active-duty military members have received at least one shot of the vaccine to date.

I am a military spouse. My husband has already been told no to a medical exemption. According to the PA he initially saw, there a few specific reasons to get an exemption and that is all. He went in with legitimate concerns and his issues did not check off any of their boxes… The vaccine does not stop the virus and he already had COVID without issue.
