Forty percent of Marines are declining the coronavirus vaccine, according to data obtained by CNN.
There has been a 38.9 percent decline rate, but the Marines are providing information to individuals to encourage them to get the vaccine.
“The Navy and Marine Corps are providing substantial educational information broadly, and working with commands to ensure Marines, Sailors, and beneficiaries have accurate information regarding the safety and efficacy of the vaccines to encourage individuals to get immunized,” Capt. Andrew Wood, a Marines spokesman, told The Hill in a statement.
The data showed that 75,500 Marines have received the vaccine and 48,000 have declined it. Overall, the acceptance rate is 61.1 percent.
