Republican demands answers after canceled troop vaccination reports
A top Republican congressman is demanding answers on the Pentagon s COVID-19 vaccination plans after reports of delayed and canceled appointments for U.S. service members and families overseas.
Our men and women serving their country - especially those who are serving abroad, away from their family and friends and, in many instances unable to come home for almost a year - should be a priority for the Department of Defense, Rep.

The country was seeing “a concerning rise” in cases, he said in a video posted online Wednesday.
There may have been a slight increase when the video was recorded in late February, officials have said, but U.S. Air Forces Central spokeswoman Capt. Carrie Volpe in Qatar told Stars and Stripes there were less than five active cases in AFCENT as of Thursday. ....

In late February, the commander of an Air Force medical squadron deployed to Saudi Arabia posted a video online, noting a “concerning rise” in the number of cases of COVID-19 in that country.
The Defense Department and the services have largely kept mum about cases at individual bases, citing operational security concerns, but a Pentagon spokesman confirmed to Military Times on Wednesday that there had been something of a spike last month. ....
