- Thousands of US service members are refusing the COVID-19 vaccine as commanders try hard to persuade troops to get the shot
- Some army units see as few as one-third of service men agreed to the vaccine
- Military leaders say there might be an answer to the dillemma: an imminent deployment. Navy sailors on ships heading out to sea last week, for instance, took the shot at rates exceeding 80 percent to 90 percent
- The military's resistance to the vaccine also comes as troops are being deployed to vaccination centers around the country
- At Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where several thousand troops are preparing for future deployments, the vaccine acceptance rate is about 60 percent
- The Defence Department say they hope this low vaccine acceptance in the military changes soon
