Premier League officials have resorted to making a video with the Government urging players to ignore myths around the Covid vaccine.
Jonathan Van-Tam, the deputy chief medical officer, has agreed to clear up misinformation around the vaccine amid growing concern about footballers refusing get innoculated.
Professor Van-Tam recorded footage on Friday in which he answered a series of questions put to him by a Premier League representative.
It is due to be shared among players imminently to avoid more of the Covid-enforced setbacks threatening to undermine the new season.
Van-Tam recorded a second video that the Premier League will share with fans to stress the importance of getting fully immunised.
