I looked this up years ago. I’ve been in the military for 23 years now. Years ago one of my Soldiers didn’t want to get a shot (he was just being a smart ass). I found out that a Commander can order a Soldier restrained so that he/she may be given a shot. Getting the vaccinations is more about the health and welfare of other Soldiers as much as the individual. I’m no lawyer but this is my interpretation. I hope your nephew can serve one way or another.

Thank you for your service and I absolutely understand. I told him that the military doesn't like to have "one-offs" and that he could be a determent to his unit if he is not able to be vaccinated for a specific theater threat.

My unit had several idiots who refused the anthrax vaccination and they were summarily discharged.
