After a vaccine booster evolution conducted Friday, the number of mids who had received a COVID-19 booster immunization jumped from 71% in early December to 87%.
An investigation has determined that 105 second-year midshipmen likely cheated on a physics exam in December, which was administered remotely due to COVID.
For the first violation, mids face demerits, the loss of a weekend of liberty when it is restored and an additional seven days of restrictions when they are eased.
Vice Adm. Sean Buck, the superintendent, says vaccinations need to begin now for midshipmen to be able to participate in summer training programs to meet Navy requirements.
