In Texas, the number of flu cases at a military base is increasing. The base in question is Lackland Air Force Base.

The rise in flu cases comes after a change in policy regarding the influenza vaccine. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had previously lifted the mandate for service members to receive the vaccine.

Further details about the situation are available through the current total of flu cases, which has reached 275. Services are now requiring recruits to get flu shots again.
