But soldiers in the BDF won't have to buy their vaccination cards since they've been lining up to get the jab. The deadline for frontline workers to get vaccinated or take a test every two weeks is quickly approaching and the Chief of Staff at Price Barrack, Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Velasquez said their vaccination numbers are going up.

"Since the last time I spoke to the media we had about 10% vaccinated. Right now it's a very high number, we have probably about 40% of the soldiers vaccinated at this time. I just threw that number out, 40% is probably high, maybe 60%, but since recent weeks many soldiers have been lining up to get the vaccine. The medic centers are always full every day that we offer the vaccine, so a huge number of soldiers have either taken the vaccine or have taken the vaccine. The ones that are out in the field they rotate, so every 2 weeks they get to come out, so most of them in the field right now have already taken the vaccine."
