Fort Drum soldier will be tried for refusing vaccine

The Associated Press


(April 28, 2003) — FORT DRUM — A 26-year-old Army reservist at Fort Drum faces a court-martial for her refusal to receive an anthrax vaccine. Pvt. Kamila Iwanowska said she resisted receiving the shots on religious and medical grounds. Military prosecutors will try her for refusing to obey a lawful order. The trial was to begin today, but was delayed for one to two weeks.

The Army said Iwanowska, of New York City, refused an anthrax shot at Fort Drum after reporting for pre-deployment processing with her unit in January.

Iwanowska said she considers the shot medically dangerous to children she might have in the future, saying the long-term effects are unknown. She also said she could not take the vaccine because of the Roman Catholic religion she practices and the respect it accords unborn infants.

The Pentagon insists the vaccination is safe, with severe adverse reactions developing in about one in 100,000 vaccinations.

Iwanowska was demoted from the rank of specialist, said Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty, a Fort Drum spokesman.

Meanwhile, Pvt. Rhonda Hazley served a 14-day jail sentence and lost her specialist’s rank following a court-martial last month. Hazley, of East Dublin, Ga., said she refused the shot because she feared it could harm her breast-feeding infant.

In February, two Marines at Camp Pendleton in California refused the anthrax vaccine. Both were deployed to the Middle East and have courts-martial pending upon their return.

Two Air Force officers sued the Bush administration and the Pentagon last year, challenging the mandatory anthrax vaccines for the nation’s 2.4 million service members.
