Federal judge rules Air Force officer does not have to receive Covid 19 vaccine (CNN)A federal judge in Georgia ruled that an anonymous Air Force officer does not have to receive a Covid 19 vaccine. despite the military's vaccine mandate. because of her religious beliefs. The judge ordered a preliminary injunction preventing the Defense Department and the Air Force from enforcing the military's vaccine mandate on the anonymous officer.
