Football News : Vaccine hesitancy is a ‘nuanced’ debate – Southgate

England manager Gareth Southgate has reiterated his belief that getting vaccinated is the best way out of the coronavirus pandemic. Three Lions players have been keeping their cards close to their chest on Covid-19 vaccines following a report some of Southgate's squad were refusing to get the jab. Tammy Abraham confirmed earlier this week that he is vaccinated, but former Chelsea team-mate Fikayo Tomori chose not to divulge, saying it was a "personal issue". There is fresh scrutiny about vaccination rates within football, with the English newspaper The Sun claiming at the weekend that at least five members of the England squad were refusing to be vaccinated. Southgate has been a key supporter of the Government's vaccination programme, taking part in a promotional video, and reiterated his stance ahead of Saturday's clash with Andorra.
