The Air Force has denied 2,130 requests for religious exemptions to the Department of Defense’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which is compelling a large portion of the U.S. military to receive a vaccine, the service said.
In a press release published on Wednesday, the Air Force said it has so far received a total of 10,000 requests, of which “approximately 2,100 have been disapproved due to military readiness considerations.”
