A report from Dianna Russini of ESPN says the NFL is ready to take the next step in their COVID-19 vaccination protocol. According to Russini, the NFL is sending out a memo on Tuesday mandating the COVID-19 booster shot for Tier 1 & Tier 2 personnel.
Here are the effected parties, per the NFL’s initial Tier memo:
• Tier 1 will consist of players, coaches, trainers, physicians and necessary personnel who must have direct access to the players.
• Tier 2 will consist of general managers, football operations employees, other assistant coaches, video personnel, security and other essential personnel who may need to be in close proximity to the players and other Tier 1 individuals who may need to access restricted areas.
