Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich said Thursday he will receive a COVID-19 vaccine following the requirement from Gov. Jay Inslee.
"I plan on following his mandate, for sure," Rolovich told reporters.
Inslee announced Wednesday that faculty and staff, including coaches, at the state's public schools and colleges must be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18. The directive comes amid an increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations within the state and nationally.
Rolovich announced in July that he elected not to get the vaccine "for reasons which will remain private." He missed the Pac-12 media days as a result.
