The Naval Station at Corpus Christi refused to comply with a federal mandate regarding COVID-19 vaccinations for military personnel and civilian employees. This decision was part of a broader resistance by some military installations and personnel to the vaccine mandate, citing concerns over personal choice and medical autonomy. The refusal to enforce the mandate led to debates over military readiness and public health measures within the armed forces.
