Cadets who refuse the vaccine will not be commissioned as military officers, but will graduate with bachelor's degrees, the academy said Saturday. Dean Miller said that a fourth cadet who had refused the vaccine decided to graduate and become an Air Force officer. Miller said that while the three will get a degree, they will not be commissioned into the United States Air Force as long as they remain unvaccinated. The Air Force is the only military academy where vaccine refusal is a factor. All of the more than 1,000 Army Cadets at the US Military Academy at West Point, New York, graduated and were commissioned as officers earlier in the day. The Naval Academy said Saturday that no Navy or Marine Corps seniors are being prevented from being commissioned due to vaccine refusals. The Air Force ceremony is in Colorado on Wednesday. The U.S. Air Force Academy Board conducted a standard review before the graduation ceremony to make sure the class met all requirements. The vaccine is critical to maintaining military readiness and the health of the force, according to Lloyd Austin, who is scheduled to speak at the Air Force graduation. Military leaders argue that troops have been required to get as many as 17 vaccines in order to maintain their health. If a student isn't already vaccine free, they get a regimen of shots on their first day at the military academy. They get flu shots in the fall. The exemption reviews by the military services have been questioned by members of Congress and the public. Many lawsuits have been filed against the mandate because very few service members have been granted religious exemptions from the shots. Military members rarely sought religious exemptions to vaccines. An Air Force Academy spokesman said a week ago that all four of the cadets had been told of the consequences and met with the academy's superintendent. He noted that they had time before graduation to change their minds. If students leave during their junior or senior year, they have to repay tuition costs. Students with similar problems are often involved in those cases. The service secretary can make a final decision on repayment, and the costs can be as much as $200,000. As many as 4,000 active duty service members have been discharged for refusing the vaccine across the military. Those who refuse the vaccine without an exemption are still being discharged. The courts have stopped the discharge of service members who sought religious exemptions. As many as 20,000 service members have asked for religious exemptions according to the military. Thousands have been denied. 99% of the active duty Navy and 98% of the Air Force, Marine Corps and Army have gotten at least one shot.
