The Army said unvaccinated National Guard members and reservists who missed the deadline to be fully-vaccinated by Thursday will not be allowed to participate in federally-funded drills or training, and will not be paid or receive retirement credit.
The Army announced Friday that unvaccinated National Guard members and reservists who missed the deadline to be fully-vaccinated by Thursday will not be allowed to participate in federally-funded drills or training, and will not be paid or receive retirement credit.
“When you’re looking at, 40,000 soldiers that potentially are in that unvaccinated category, absolutely there’s readiness implications on that and concerns associated with that,” Lt. Gen. Jon Jensen, director of the Army National Guard told the AP. “That’s a significant chunk.” About 13% of National Guard troops and 12% of Army Reserve soldiers are not fully-vaccinated, despite the Army’s deadline for part-time soldiers passing on June 30, 2022.
The Army claimed its policy “affords every Soldier the opportunity to request an exemption, such as for medical or religious concerns,” and that each request is reviewed “on an individual basis.”
