Hey guys, I'm thinking about enlisting after high school and with the whole COVID situation, I'm unsure about one thing. Is it necessary to have received the COVID vaccine before joining the military? Thanks in advance for any info that will help clear this up for me.
Yes, as of now, all branches of the U.S. military require all active-duty service members, including those enlisting, to be vaccinated against COVID-19. This requirement was set forth to ensure the health and readiness of the military. However, remember that policies may change as the pandemic evolves. It's always best to contact a local recruiter or the branch you are interested in directly for the most updated information about their current health and vaccination requirements.
