San Diego-area sailors and Marines on active duty face administrative discharges from the military if they fail to meet the Navy department’s Nov. 28 coronavirus vaccination deadline, according to the latest orders issued by the services.
Those orders, issued in separate messages this month, give unit commanders a road map on how to proceed with those who refuse to comply with the vaccine mandate.
According to the Marine Corps’ latest numbers, 92 percent of the Corps has received at least one dose of the vaccine and 83 percent are fully vaccinated. For the Navy, 99 percent have received at least one dose and 95 percent are fully vaccinated.
