This could have an unintended consequence. Classified programs (SECRET, TOP SECRET, COMPARTMENTED) rely on Key Personnel who---aside from technical expertise---have security clearances...which sometimes take years to establish by deep background investigation. What happens when a classified program's Key Personnel decide not to take the vaxx? And walk out the door? Everything comes to a screeching halt. The missing people must be replaced by the appropriate expertise, vetted and investigated, cleared, and briefed up to the status of the program at the time their predecessors left.
Intergovernmental classified cooperation would also be affected.
Intelligence collection and analysis agencies could be hollowed out like a spongiform cow's brain.
If you are willing to contemplate, I'm sure other comparable dilemmas will come to mind. Including holes in the chain of command for the use of nuclear weapons.
