Aniston said she has removed people from her "weekly routine" if they refuse to get vaccinated.
It's "your moral and professional obligation to inform" if you've been vaccinated or not, she said.
She said there are many people who "just don't listen to the facts" when it comes to vaccinations.

Jennifer Aniston has been cracking down on her friends who refuse to get vaccinated by cutting them out of her life, she said.
In an interview with InStyle, the former "Friends" star expressed how important getting vaccinated was to her. "I've just lost a few people in my weekly routine who have refused or did not disclose [if they've been vaccinated], and it was unfortunate," Aniston said.
"I feel it's your moral and professional obligation to inform, since we're not all podded up and being tested every single day."
"The Morning Show" actress continued: "It's tricky because everyone is entitled to their own opinion - but a lot of opinions don't feel based in anything except fear or propaganda."
Aniston told InStyle that "it's a real shame" that there is "still a large group of people who are anti-vaxxers or just don't listen to the facts."

Throughout the pandemic, Aniston encouraged her Instagram followers to follow COVID-19 safety protocols, such as self-isolating and wearing a mask.
"There are many people in our country refusing to take the necessary steps to flatten the curve, and keep each other safe. People seem worried about their 'rights being taken away' by being asked to wear a mask. This simple and effective recommendation is being politicized at the expense of peoples' lives," Aniston said about the public being asked to wear a mask.
The SAG award-winning actress also posted a photo of her friend Kevin in hospital last year in July. Aniston stressed that Kevin was "perfectly healthy" with "not one underlying health issue," but was in the hospital because he was severely affected by COVID-19.
"We can't be so naive to think we can outrun this...if we want this to end, and we do, right? The one step we can take is PLEASE #wearadamnmask," Aniston wrote.
"Just think about those who've already suffered through this horrible virus. Do it for your family. And most of all yourself. Covid affects all ages."
