Many U.S. police officers are asking their unions to support the right not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, Axios reported.
The Fraternal Order of Police, a national police union that represents 356,000 officers, has said COVID-19 vaccines are safe and recommends its members get vaccinated.
Still, the union will not support mandates requiring members get the vaccine.
“We are a union and we will defend our members,” FOP executive director Jim Pasco told Axios. “You cannot tell people what to do. It’s still an individual and personal choice.”
