Premier League will use a carrot, not a stick, to persuade more players to get the jab

Daily Mail  

The fresh drive to persuade the 16 per cent of Premier League vaccine sceptics to get the jab will see new rules in 2022 to incentivise good practice, so that elite football is at least better prepared for when the next variant comes along to disrupt the programme. Last Monday’s Premier League meeting, at which clubs with good vaccination rates among their players expressed their concern and frustration with those clubs where players are even now still resisting the jab, has mandated the league to look at new rules to encourage the 16 per cent. Jurgen Klopp warned unvaccinated players may find themselves sidelined at clubs Among EFL players, there are 25 per cent who have proved unmoved by all the evidence which points to vaccine uptake being crucial to navigating a way through the pandemic and, by extension, vital to football’s economic health. Once they have the second shot, and after a 14-day period after that, then they’re considered fully vaccinated and won’t in future have to isolate if they’re a close contact.’ Asked whether vaccine sceptics were coming round now that the full scale of the disruption caused by their choice is evident, Hoos said: ‘Some will but some will never change their minds.’ With football staring down the barrel of behind-closed-doors games again, West Ham manager David Moyes expressed his hope that vaccinations among the wider population would keep people safe.
