A new U.S. Navy order says all active-duty personnel who don’t get a COVID-19 vaccine by an upcoming deadline will be discharged—with possible financial repercussions as well.

The order, which was issued last week, applies to any sailors who aren’t fully vaccinated against the CCP virus by Nov. 28, unless they’ve received a religious or medical exemption or have an application for an exemption pending.
