Nearly all the Afghans at Fort McCoy are accepting COVID-19 vaccines and the first refugees will likely leave the military base this weekend, according to Democrats in Wisconsin's congressional delegation who toured the facility Tuesday.
Rep. Mark Pocan of Dane County said just one person at Fort McCoy had refused the coronavirus vaccine.
"I wish we had anything like that in our country right now," Pocan said, alluding to the large numbers of Americans who have declined to get vaccinated.
The facility in western Wisconsin had about 7,000 refugees as of last week but was being expanded to hold up to 13,000.
