Soldiers may seek a lifetime exclusion for religious or medical grounds, and there are already 4,228 interim exemptions in place while the procedure is underway.

The Army has now terminated 27 troops for refusing to obtain the necessary coronavirus vaccine, according to a statement released by the military on Thursday. Last Monday, the Army reported that the first three troops had been discharged for rejecting the vaccination. Another 24 troops were thrown out for rejecting the vaccine, according to a weekly report on the force’s immunization status. The vaccination proportion of the about 486,000 active-duty troops increased from 96 percent to 97 percent, according to the latest. The Army’s deadline for receiving the vaccination had passed more than three months ago, and Army Secretary Christine Wormuth instructed commanders to begin forcefully separating individuals who rejected the doses on Jan. 31. Troops may seek a permanent exemption for religious or medical grounds, and there are already 4,228 interim exemptions in place while the procedure is underway.
