The Marine Corps has moved aggressively to discharge service members since its vaccine mandate deadline of Nov. 14, having reviewed most of the several thousand claims for religious exemptions and thus far granting none.
According to the Corps’ latest update, it has separated 206 Marines to date with the vaccine refusal discharge code.
The weekly updates from the branch show that the separations began with 103 Marines on the week of Dec. 16.
Conversely, the Air Force, whose vaccine deadline arrived on Nov. 2, announced it had only discharged 27 people for failing to get the shot that same week. Meanwhile, the Navy has not announced any discharges stemming from its vaccine mandate despite it sharing the same Nov. 14 deadline.
