As predicted, COVID-19 infection rates have increased dramatically over the holiday season and we have entered 2021 with higher hospitalization rates than ever before. Although we have begun the first wave of vaccinations here at Vandenberg AFB, it will be months before the entire community is vaccinated and we can safely put this pandemic behind us. Public Health Directives 1-6 are hereby rescinded and replaced by this Directive. This Directive is effective immediately, and applies to all military members of Vandenberg AFB regardless of location, as well as civilian employees, dependents, retirees, contractors, and any persons on the installation for any reason.
