Premier League and government urge footballers to get Covid-19 vaccine
The most recent data from the Premier League,revealed that 81% of Premier League players had had at least one jab, while 68% had been given two doses.
"Please strongly encourage those who are not fully vaccinated to become so, and the many who are, to get their booster, which appears to be the only significant layer of protection against the Omicron variant."October 2021: Premier League vaccination rates "a massive leap forward" - Professor Van-Tam, citing a number of factors, including their lack of confidence in the vaccine, concerns about side effects, or a fear of needles.
"Ultimately you have to ask the question why do some players see the risk of the vaccine and why don't they see the benefits of it? The reasons for that will vary." He used his programme notes before Thursday's 3-1 win against Newcastle to encourage people to get vaccinated, writing: "If I come across friends or people I care about in my life away from football and they tell me they haven't had a jab yet, I do my best to encourage them to listen to experts.
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte said he would like his players to get vaccinated but would not force anyone to do it."I've been vaccinated and my family, my daughter and wife, did the same. I'd like that other people do the same but every single person needs to take the best decision for himself."
