A significant flu outbreak has occurred at Lackland Air Force Base, resulting in over 150 servicemembers falling ill. This outbreak is notable, especially given recent changes to military health policies.

The incident follows an announcement made in April, which affects the health requirements for U.S. military members. As of that announcement, receiving the annual flu vaccine is no longer mandatory for members of the U.S. military.

Further details about the flu outbreak and its implications can be found through CBS Austin.
