At least 96% of active-duty soldiers in the Army are fully vaccinated. The deadline set by the Army for active-duty soldiers to complete their COVID vaccination was December 15, 2021.
The Army has not granted any religious exemption requests but has received 2,128 requests. The Navy, Air Force and Marines also have not granted any religious exemption requests so far. Staff Sgt. Travis Snyder, left, receives the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine given at Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, Dec. 16, 2020, south of Seattle. According to the Navy's weekly update, the Navy has 5,209 active-duty sailors who remain unvaccinated and 2,968 members of the ready reserve. Commanders have separated 20 soldiers who were within 180 days of active-duty service for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.
Austin mandated the vaccine in September but left it up to the services to set the deadlines. The deadlines for the active component and reserve component for each service to receive a vaccine have passed, except for the Army National Guard who still has until June 30. , but as the Omicron wave started rolling through the country, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby has said a booster requirement is under active discussion at the Defense Department.

USArmy You guys are shooting yourselves in the foot. I’ve been around the Army my whole 52 years; as a child, a wife, & now a mother. This is the DUMBEST move the Army has ever made, & that’s saying a lot! ROTC cadets are doing their commitments & getting out of this clown show.
No vaccine = non deployable soldier. And that is a No Go at any station
Like the Army can afford this.
Vaxart has a COVID19 💊 vaccine & booster that is: Room temperature stable Targets mucosal immunity Higher T cell response than current MRNA vaccines No 💉 or cold storage Scalable Easily Self-administered Why hasn’t the 🇺🇸 invested in this solution?
This is not like your typical vaccine and the adverse events from it are real and under reported.
Good
Is the guy getting a tattoo anything to do with the story?
It was never about a virus was it? It was always about control! Austin and Milley - the woke crew refuse to give faith based exemptions. That's wrong especially for our soldiers who swore an oath to uphold the constitution.
China is loving this.
👏👏👏
Don't deserve to be Commanders!
Good riddance
My vacccine my choice
Excellent! The U.S. military is no place for those who refuse to follow orders. After all, if they're too scared to take a vaccine, how can they possibly be expected to handle combat?
See, there are smart commanders in the army.
MZHemingway Why are they still requiring vaccines when they don't prevent infection and Omicron is a milder version of the virus? Is the Army really that poorly informed or is this about something else?
Vaccinate!
😡😡😡
China has us right where they want us. Wake up people
Already have the replacements ready
MZHemingway LOL
FBI needs to keep those fools under a watchful eye!
Good, get rid of the right-wing extremists before they lead the next insurrection!!!!!
They're going to play out this farce til' the bitter end
What a great way to weed out the Fox viewers…

Sure hope it was worth throwing their career away! They should be dishonorably discharged & lose their pension !

MZHemingway Ridiculous. Vaxxed are getting and spreading Covid just like anyone else. Stop the insanity.
They are already shot up with so many vaccines to prevent disease from 3rd world countries 🤦♂️ this ain’t different
They claim they can take a bullet for our country … but no needles. I wonder if they also refused vaccines at boot camp. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
If they are incapable of carrying out orders then they shouldn't be in positions where they give out orders.
MZHemingway But are now giving 50000 bonus sign ons. Weird
👍Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!
Good. Evidence of terrible judgement
For a vaccine that doesn’t even stop transmission. Stop the insanity.
