A federal judge in Texas has granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Navy from acting against 35 sailors for refusing on religious grounds to comply with an order to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
There was no indication that the order would affect service members beyond the 35 sailors who sued Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the Navy. The Pentagon had no immediate response to a request for comment.
The injunction is a new challenge to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's decision to make vaccinations mandatory for all members of the military.
