Pittman says 91% of team is fully vaccinated

Eleven players on Arkansas' football team are not fully vaccinated against covid-19, according to Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman.

Speaking at the Little Rock Touchdown Club, Pittman cited a vaccination rate of 91% for players. Pittman suggested that Monday's full approval of the Pfizer vaccine by the Food and Drug Administration will cause more players to get vaccinated.

"I think that will help us with the remaining 11, and then 100% of our employees are vaccinated," Pittman said. "I'm proud of that.
