As of May 12, 2022, the Army has separated 570 Soldiers for refusing the lawful order to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

To date, Army commanders have relieved a total of seven Regular Army leaders, including two battalion commanders, and issued 3,409 general officer written reprimands to Regular Army Soldiers for refusing the vaccination order.

As the Army accesses and discharges Soldiers and continues to refine data tracking processes, the vaccination percentages will vary slightly.
