As the 2021 football season approaches, teams around the state of Florida have focused their efforts getting their athletes vaccinated prior to the start of the season.
In a press conference call via Webex on Aug. 23, FAU football head coach Willie Taggart stated that “a lot” of players have been vaccinated in the leadup to the season.
While he did not provide a specific number or percentage of vaccinations within the team, he said that they have a team that wants to play this year, considering they went 5-4 and had five games canceled last year due to COVID-19.
