The vaccination rate among players and coaching staff in the Bundesliga stands at 94 per cent, the league's chief has revealed, as the Premier League struggles to convince its stars to take the jab.
Christian Seifert described the almost complete take-up of the coronavirus vaccine as 'pretty good', emphasising 'there is a lot at stake, it makes good sense.'
The 94 per cent figure comprises Bundesliga players as well as coaches and their staff at the 18 top-flight clubs in Germany.
Clubs such as Hertha Berlin have told their players who are reluctant to get the jab they will have to foot the bill for their twice-weekly PCR tests going forward.
