Over 3 percent of active-duty Air Force personnel did not get fully vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19 or get approved for an exemption, the military service announced a day after its COVID-19 vaccine mandate deadline.

The members were given until Nov. 2 to be fully vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.
