David Berger said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total number of 452 have Marines received a temporary administrative exemption, 316 Marines have received a temporary medical exemption and 14 service members have received a permanent medical exemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese numbers will continue to fluctuate due to the nature of the exemptions,\u201d the press release said of the temporary exemptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll medical exemption requests that have yet to be approved or denied are being reviewed on a case-by-case basis,\u201d the release stated. \u201cEach request will be given full consideration with respect to the facts and circumstances submitted in the request. A medical exemption will be reviewed in all cases by a medical professional.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, 2,441 Marines have applied for a religious exemption to the vaccine, the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of those 1,902 have been processed, according to the Monday press release. None have been approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marine Corps has no records of any Marines receiving a religious exemption for any vaccines in the past 10 years, Marine Corps Times previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Nov. 28 deadline approached, Berger and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Troy Black implored Marines to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to operate as a team, we have to be ready, we are the nation\u2019s force in readiness,\u201d Berger said in a video released on Nov. 8. \u201cWe need you to get vaccinated, we need every single Marine in the unit to be vaccinated.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The numbers make the Corps the least vaccinated branch in the Department of Defense, with the Navy having 99.7% of its force partially or fully vaccinated, while the Air Force and Space Force had 96% of forces meet its Nov. 2 deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army, with a Dec. 25 active duty deadline, had roughly 95% of its force fully vaccinated on Nov. 21, The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2021\/11\/21\/vacine-mandate-marine-corps\/\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Post<\/a> reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the Marine Corps makes good on its promise to remove all who refused the vaccine, more than 8,000 Marines may soon be forced from active duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release said 79 percent of Marine reservists were partially or fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marine Corps reservists have until Dec. 28 to be fully vaccinated or receive an exemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though their numbers are significantly lower than the active duty force, Berger previously said he believes that has to do with difficulty keeping records on reservists rather than a sign of increased hesitancy among the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey may have gotten the vaccine last week and we wouldn\u2019t know it,\u201d Berger said in early November at the Aspen Security Forum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No religious exemptions have been approved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":50074,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":69,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"2":{"categories":["your-military","news","left-column","home"],"primary_category":"your-military"}}},"categories":[101,23,92,12,25,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3097],"class_list":["post-26537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-left-column","category-news","category-newsletters","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"GB2DY6ZDFBBQLDB2ATWPUWLBOQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2021\/11\/29\/5-of-active-duty-marines-still-completely-unvaccinated-as-deadline-passes\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
