The NFL informed clubs today any team employee who refuses a COVID-19 vaccination without “bona fide medical or religious ground” will be barred from Tier 1 or Tier 2 status, and thus have restricted access within the team facility and not work directly with players, per sources.
Here’s the full NFL memo, which also says teams must report weekly the number of employees who are vaccinated, as conversations with the NFLPA continue on the thresholds at which protocols on testing, PPE, travel, etc., can be relaxed. pic.twitter.com/FXuIhFP6Vh

Tier 1 employees definitely include coaches.

• Tier 2 will consist of general managers, football operations employees, other assistant coaches, video personnel, security and other essential personnel who may need to be in close proximity to the players and other Tier 1 individuals who may need to access restricted areas. Only individuals assigned to Tiers 1 and 2 will be permitted access to restricted areas, and there will be limits on the number of individuals from each team that can be assigned Tier 1 and Tier 2 access at any given time.

To be fair, getting scheduled to get a vaccine has been a pain in the butt in some areas. I had to drive 90 miles one way to get the first Pfizer shot and have to do the same thing next week for the second one. I don’t know if it’s gotten any easier to schedule one in the past couple of weeks, but there are probably people that have decided to wait until it’s easier to get an appointment. [Reply]
