Any active-duty Marine who did not finish their primary COVID-19 vaccine regimen by Nov. 14, or any reserves who did not complete the process by Dec. 14, is considered unvaccinated by the branch.

Primary regimens are two doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson jab.

All unvaccinated Marines without a pending or approved exemption application, or a pending appeal of a rejected exemption request, are being processed for separation. The branch reported last week that 351 Marines had been discharged for vaccine refusal but corrected the number to 289.

"We inadvertently counted Marines who had not yet been separated, and Marines who had been separated for other misconduct," the Marines spokesman said.

The number of Marines who have been booted for not getting a vaccine is now at 334.

There were approximately 179,678 active-duty Marines and 35,240 Marine reservists, according to data current as of September 2021.

Ninety-five percent of active-duty Marines have completed their primary vaccination regimen, or are fully vaccinated, according to the Marine Corps. Another 1 percent are partially vaccinated, having gotten one shot of the two-dose Moderna or Pfizer primary regimen.

Of the reserves, 87 percent are fully vaccinated and 1 percent are partially vaccinated.
