The way I remember it when I enlisted in the USN it was simply put then that you were now government property and even getting a tattoo was looked at like defacing and endangering govt. property and could get you discharged. We were given no choices on what vaccinations we would accept or not accept. You stood in line and an airgun vaccinator shot it into your arm and you moved down to the next shot station. I don`t see how refusing a shot is any different than deciding what orders you are going to obey or not obey. On a floating city like an Aircraft Carrier or tight quarters like a Submarine how can it work if only part of the crew is protected and others are not, it can`t so I am not buying this.
