Mandatory vaccines are part of a US military man or woman requirements for duty, the COVID-19 vaccines are not mandated now because of their emergency use status.

Because they have a choice with this 1, 38.9% the US Marines overall are refusing to take the shot. At Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, 57% have refused the shot so far.

If a group of Democrats get their way military personnel won’t be able to decline for long, as they’ve asked Mr. Biden “*to issue a ‘waiver of informed consent’ to make getting vaccinated against Covid-19 mandatory for all US military service members*" writing in a letter that ‘*disinformation and vaccine skepticism’ *a*re influencing service members to opt out of being vaccinated.”*

According to the data, approximately 75,500 marines have been vaccinated, while 48,000 have declined. The overall acceptance rate is 61.1%. The figures include active-duty, reserves, and the Individual Mobilization Augmentee Marines.

Have a healthy day, Keep the Faith!
