Nearly 400 employees at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention haven't received a COVID-19 vaccine, according to data obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times.
A total of 382 workers at the CDC are unvaccinated, Roger Andoh, a Freedom of Information Act officer at the agency, told The Epoch Times.
Another nine employees have just had one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, meaning they also don't qualify as fully vaccinated per the CDC's guidelines.
"The response I got to your appeal from CDC gave me the impression they didn't mean to withhold any information in the first place," Jonathan Nelson, a FOIA analyst with HHS, told The Epoch Times in an email.
In addition to revealing that 391 employees weren't fully vaccinated, the CDC said that 12,399 were fully vaccinated, meaning that they had received two doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson jab.
5,810 employees shared that they had received a booster dose, although the agency stressed that employees don't have to say whether they've had a booster.
The CDC also disclosed that the agency had granted zero requests for exemption to President Joe Biden's federal worker vaccine mandate, which is poised to take effect on May 31 after a months-long suspension due to a court ruling.
