While the total force of the Navy continues to see more than 8,000 unvaccinated members, the number has continued to decrease, according to the latest COVID-19 update from the sea service.
As of Jan. 12, there are 5,209 active-duty sailors who are not vaccinated — although this number includes those who are partially vaccinated, have an exemption or waiting for an exemption request to be adjudicated — a decrease of 59 since last week and decrease of 119 over the past two weeks.
There are 2,968 Ready Reserve members who are not vaccinated, as of Jan. 12, which is a decrease of 12 over the past week.
There have not been any additional separations in the past week. Last week, the Navy announced 20 entry level separations of sailors who were all within their first 180 days of service.
