During the ACC Football Kickoff on Thursday, Dave Doeren told Adam Gold that around 80 percent of NC State’s football team is vaccinated. Doeren added that more guys were in the process of getting the vaccination as he was leaving for media days.
Vaccination rates have been a big topic of discussion across college football over the last 10 days, with league commissioners consistently urging players to get their shots if they haven’t already done so.
From a football perspective, there’s a lot of incentive to get vaccinated. In the SEC, for instance, teams that are at least 85% vaccinated aren’t subject to regular tests and don’t have to wear masks inside their facilities.
