DHS reinstates Coast Guard members discharged over COVID shot
DHS has reinstated Coast Guard members who were discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. The move reverses prior mandates affecting service members who were discharged over vaccination requirements.
The policy shift comes amid broader changes to U.S. immunization practices during the early period of the second Trump administration, signaling adjustments to how vaccination directives are implemented in federal agencies.
The reinstatement allows affected personnel to return to duty, though details on timing, eligibility, and any conditions remain to be announced.
