University of New Mexico athletic teams will have 399 of its 414 student-athletes fully vaccinated by Thursday to adhere to the campus mandate and its attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and the delta variant, UNM athletic director Eddie Nuñez said on Tuesday.

Nine of the unidentified 15 who are not vaccinated are on the football team, and all 15 are in compliance to remain students on campus, Nuñez and UNM football head coach Danny Gonzales said.

“The athletic department has adhered to all of the university’s mandates,” Nuñez said.
