Yes. Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall directed the COVID-19 vaccine implementation guidelines for Department of the Air Force total force military members Sept. 3, 2021, in accordance with the Secretary of Defense mandate.

The service implementation plan requires Airmen and Guardians to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the following dates, unless seeking an exemption:
--Nov. 2, 2021 – Active Duty personnel
--Dec. 2, 2021 – Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve personnel

Vaccinations will help ensure service members’ health and safety while preserving the department’s readiness and ability to execute worldwide air and space forces missions, according to department leaders.

--If you’re a service member and you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine from a non-DOD provider, make sure to update your medical records.
--If you haven’t received your COVID vaccine yet, schedule your vaccine as soon as you can.

Service members have the option to apply for medical or administrative exemption, including religious accommodations. The process for obtaining exemptions for all mandatory vaccinations is provided in AFI 48-110_IP, Immunizations and Chemoprophylaxis for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases, for medical exemptions, and DAFI 52-201, Religious Freedom in the Department of the Air Force, for religious accommodations. No exemptions from the vaccine will be approved solely because Airmen and Guardians have an approved retirement or separation date.

Any refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, absent an approved exemption or accommodation, may be punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Military commanders retain the full range of disciplinary options available to them under the UCMJ. For more information, Airmen and Guardians are encouraged to work with their chains of command and their local military treatment facilities.

As of March 1, 2022, mask wear is no longer required on the installation (regardless of vaccination status), with the exception of 99th Medical Group facilities, based on the new CDC COVID-19 Community Level categories and the March 1, 2022, Under Secretary of Defense memorandum.  

For civilian employees, this guidance applies to non-bargaining employees. All other civilian employees should follow the standing mask policy as negotiated with the Union.

Clark County and Nellis are Community Level "Medium" of Low/Medium/High. Mask wear is not required in "Medium" or "Low" categories. The CDC's new guidelines account for not only positive cases, but also local hospital bed use and hospital admissions. At the medium level, the CDC recommends the following:

• If you are at high risk for severe illness, talk to your healthcare provider about mask wear
• Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines
• Get tested if you have symptoms

Data on levels of community transmission can be found at the CDC COVID Data Tracker website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html
