The New England Patriots announced on Tuesday that they plan to fly 76 healthcare workers from New England states on the team plane to Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay, where former Patriots star Tom Brady takes on the Kansas City Chiefs.
Per a release from the team, which labeled the healthcare workers as “superheroes,” all have been vaccinated in an attempt to promote the importance of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. All expenses for the trip are paid.
The Kraft family distributed four tickets apiece to governors in each of the New England states outside of Massachusetts intended for selected healthcare workers from their states.
