(Worthy News) – The U.S. Army next month will begin kicking out soldiers who refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine and aren’t in the process of seeking an exemption to the Department of Defense’s vaccination policy.
The service’s deadline for active-duty troops to be fully vaccinated was in mid December, and the Pentagon has indicated it will start removing unvaccinated soldiers “beginning in January,” according to Army Public Affairs.
Army officials have said more than 95 percent of troops in the active-duty ranks are fully vaccinated. The service is still processing thousands of exemption requests for those seeking medical or religious exemptions. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
