| European league vaccination levels and then there’s the EPL 13:08 - Dec 18 with 1117 views | KeithHaynes | Unconfirmed latest data from the EPL that only a very small percentage of players, around 9% have had a booster jab. Approx 29% are double jabbed and 26% single jabbed. Across Europe today games go ahead. Italy Serie A says 98% of its players have been double jabbed. Juventus and Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini took to social media at the start of December to urge his followers to get their booster jab. France In France, 95% of players have been double vaccinated and there are a low number of positive cases in Ligue 1. Germany In the Bundesliga, 94% of players have been double vaccinated. Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich tested positive for coronavirus in November and said he wished he had chosen to vaccinate earlier. Spain More than 90% of La Liga players have been double vaccinated and stadiums are still allowed at full capacity.

Omicron is rampant across Europe though. https://www.euronews.com/2021/12/18/who-says-omicron-found-in-89-countries-as-eu It's not just about getting vaxxed, it's about obeying other rules, shielding from contact outside of work. If th footballers don't get a grip the whole sport in England could get closed down. The EL players will be fine with all their riches but lower league players could really struggle. |  |

Booster jabs only available to those who have already had 2 jabs, the second a minimum of 3 months ago so age restriction is meaningless in regard to booster percentages. [Post edited 18 Dec 2021 20:08]

Your point on jabs & date of the second jab is valid - however age is not meaningless as until last Weds if you were 30 or younger you could not have got a booster jab in the UK unless you were in specific employment roles or vulnerable regardless of how long ago you had your 2nd jab. |  | |  |

Yes,but our attitude makes it worse for us. |  |

They should be treated the same way as the rest of us, if we need to be double vaccinated etc then they need to be too. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I'm sure I heard a report saying one of the League 2 teams named 10 academy players in today's fixture. Not sure why other teams in PL and Championship couldn’t have done the same! |  |

Start mixing academy and senior groups again and there'll be even more out. |  | |  |

Good point. It’s now happening in rugby. I’d also add that if a team knowingly selected a Covid positive player because he was too “good or valuable” to be excluded and it was an important game etc, I’d dock them 12 points. |  | |  |

Putting all non vaxxed player on gardening leave avoids legal problems. They might need to d this for about a month or two and preserve the competition. I presume many non vaxxed will then get vaxxed to get win bonuses. |  |

I’d hope so as they are young and fit. And for all we know all had been double jabbed….unless you know otherwise? |  | |  |

No, people were blaming the Rennes cancellation on the unvaccinated players testing positive. Can't have it both ways! |  | |  |

Now if you go out it’s spot checks for your Covid certification. Bars and restaurants mandatory. In any enclosed space like shopping centres or shops you must wear a mask, but that’s never changed. I’m certain the criteria will be tightened as well. There doesn’t seem to be any animosity here at all. Just cooperation, which for Spain is very surprising. |  |
