Question for soldiers about vaccination

[Uni-Vibe]

I read that 40 percent of Marines won't agree to be vaccinated for Covid? I thought soldiers wouldn't be given a choice. Anybody know what's going on?

I’m a DoD civilian, the sailors I work with are given the option to get the vaccine but it hasn’t been required. Unless something has changed.

While I was in the Army, we were forced to get whatever vaccine was mandated. So I’m sure once the DoD requires the shot, they’ll all get it.

Its an experimental vaccine and voluntary consent is required to administer it. That is one of the conditions that the FDA placed when they granted emergency approval.

You might be right. I work for the VA and have not been told that I need to get the vaccine. It is being strongly encouraged, but it has not been mandated yet, like the flu shot.

Marines are young. 70% of enlisted marines are 24 and younger. They should be more concerned with the clap than Covid. Civilians that age haven't even been eligible for the Covid vaccine.

All veterans of any age can get the covid vaccine through the VA.

So was anthrax, botulinum, smallpox, and pyridostimine bromide.

I know I got a few of those, maybe all. Nobody asked us. "Get in line; name, ssn, payroll sig on the form once you get stung; make sure S-1 can read it or you'll end up getting it again."

Delivered by nice gentlemen in sterile BDUs and Ray-Bans driving a HMMWV with no bumper numbers.

We all got anthrax; some of us got small pox. No one I knew got botulism vax (worthless), and although we had the pyridostigmine pills, I told my guys to not take it unless I told them (which I never did).
