US military has vaccinated more than 97% of service members
This makes me smile. Mandates work
The US military has vaccinated more than 97% for its active-duty force against Covid-19 as the Army, which had the latest vaccination deadline amongst the services, released its latest numbers.
Despite the phenomenal success the military has had in vaccinating the armed forces, approximately 35,000 troops remain unvaccinated. That number includes thousands of pending requests, largely for religious exemptions. So far, no such exemption requests have been granted by any of the services.
The Army, which hit its vaccination deadline on Wednesday, has fully or partially vaccinated 98% of its active-duty force, with 3,864 soldier refusals.
Next month, the service will begin involuntarily discharging soldiers who refuse the vaccine without an approved or pending exemption.
To server our country, one needs to be vaccinated.
@izzythepush,
Only the top tier. Tennis players are like cockroaches.
@bobsal u1553115,
I guess the military has changed since the '60s. We did not have the option of accepting or declining vaccinations. Or much else, for that matter.
@roger,
They had a gun that shot the vaccines in all at once.
