snip....A Bill has just passed the US Senate, mandating that the US Department of Veteran Affairs ensure that all veterans receive immunizations (vaccines) per a draconian schedule. At this juncture, active military must receive over a dozen vaccines. This piece of legislation is therefore an effort to extend the vaccine mandate to those who have previously served their country.
Sec. 101 of Senate Bill 1203, named the 21st Century Veterans Benefits Delivery Act, states that the Department of Veterans Affairs will be tasked with the mandate to “ensure that veterans receiving medical services under chapter 17 of title 38, United States Code, receive each immunization on the recommended adult immunization schedule at the time such immunization is indicated on that schedule.â€
The schedule referred to above is frankly staggering. Over ninety vaccines are listed.
The issues here are legion. First of all, an entire group of individuals, those who at one time were in military service, will lose their inherent right to opt out of receiving what is considered prophylactic treatment. According to Anita Stewart, who served in the Air Force and now hosts Wise Women Media radio show, “This could include experimental vaccines or vaccines that have not been tested.â€
It is believed that those who refuse will, under this Bill, lose their medical benefits.
Second, there is the issue of the sheer numbers of allegedly preventative immunizations required on this schedule. As anyone who has come down with a case of the flu due to taking a flu shot might realize, the numbers of immunizations on the required schedule could be enough to sicken anyone.

Senate Bill 1203 was authored by US Senator Dean Heller, Republican from Nevada. It passed the US Senate on November 10, 2015 and now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Not to worry, I’m pretty sure the mooselimbs will be exempt.
What is the urgency for everyone to have a flu shot? They are giving it away in drug stores across America.
US Senate Passes Bill Approving Mandatory Vaccinations For Veterans

Great.
Now all a vet must do is put his name on a 3 year waiting list.
If they want to give me another GG shot, they’ll
have to catch me first.
These guys are no longer in the military. At this point its unconstitutional. But the House and Senate have long ago forgotten about the Constitution.
CBS NEWS: “ERRANT BATCH OF BAD VACCINES KILL ALL VETERANS”
“IN OTHER NEWS: THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION BUDGET IS BALANCED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES”
BS.
WTF
I have a lead prophylactic for the VA when they show up at my door with their shot needle.
Please show me the primary source text/bill. Not off of some blog or “news site.”
I wouldn’t worry about the constitutionality of it, I would be worried what are all the vaccines and why mandatory now?
as posted above- note this has not passed in the House as yet; only the senate.

Me too!
Thank the lesser evil voters, especially those here on FR that helped bring this about.
Actions have consequences. No matter what.
Just one more reason I refused to get into the VA system after I retired from the Marine Corps in 2007.

there are 90 or NINETY vaccines, not just the flu shot.
From article;
The schedule referred to above is frankly staggering. Over ninety vaccines are listed.
Looks like hysteria to me.
For starters there are not “90” recommended vaccines.
The CDC has 13 recommended vaccines. If you are a veteran in the age range of 27-49 10/13 vaccines are recommended. You probably had 9 of those 10 in reception. So that leaves an annual flu shot. And all of the language in the bill looks reads to me as they are available, not required.
Thanks for checking out the text of the legislation.
