Civilian employees of the U.S. Army are racing against the clock to apply for medical and religious exemptions from mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations because until recently, the Army didn’t have a procedure in place for them to do so.

Some employees call it unfair. Some even suspect that headquarters was intentionally slow to resolve the issue, in order to pressure them into getting vaccinated.
