COVID-19 US: A THIRD of all military personnel refuse to receive vaccine

March 02, 2021

A third of all military personnel are refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine, and in some units just 30% of enlistees are willing to have a shot, according to a new report. At present, the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines have only been granted 'emergency use authorizations' by the FDA. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine was 66% effective in trials, but is a single shot rather than two. One in three military members is refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a new report in The Nation. As of mid-February, just 150,000 had received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
