Thousands of U.S. military members are refusing or delaying the COVID-19 vaccine as commanders try to persuade them to take it, The Associated Press (AP) reported Wednesday.
As few as one-third of military members are agreeing to take the vaccine in some army units, and military leaders are reportedly looking for a way to convince soldiers to comply. Members facing imminent deployment, however, are taking the shot at rates above 80% to 90%, AP reported.
Vice Director of Operations for the Joint Staff Air Force Maj. Gen. Jeff Taliaferro reported Wednesday to Congress that about two-thirds of the service members who have been offered the vaccine have taken it.
