Nearly 44,000 unvaccinated US national guard troops could be penalized

The branch has the military’s lowest vaccination rate but official says ‘we’re not giving up on anybody’

About 43,600 national guard members face possible penalties for not receiving a Covid-19 vaccine before a federal deadline.

Approximately 10% of national guard troops have not provided documentation that they have received a Covid-19 vaccination, violating a direct order to get vaccinated, the New York Times said.
