    New Royal Navy Warfare Officer pin

    The intent is captured in the discussion in the Naval Dress Committee minutes on Sharepoint (14 Jun 18) and the NDCDC minutes (10 Dec 18) on DWAN if you have access.

Being fully vaccinated is already a necessity for travelling, crossing borders without quarantine, etc. So public health rationale aside, the chain of command has an operational basis to track individual vaccination status as a matter of...
