The Army’s deadline for its part-time soldiers in the Army Reserve and Army National Guard to receive the COVID-19 vaccine passed last week, and tens of thousands of members face potential discharges as the service fights to buoy its end-strength in a tough year for recruiting.
As of June 30, the deadline, approximately 12% of the Army Reserve was not yet fully vaccinated. That equates to roughly 22,740 troops.

They can't refuse the shot, and the only [temporary] excuse they can have for not getting one is if the Cominarty (Pfizer shot) or the Spikevax (Moderna shot) aren't available. And that's a rarity, given the ramp-up.
