How Many Teams Are Vaccinated?

The NFL has made tremendous progress in vaccinating their teams against Covid-19. Out of the 32 NFL teams, 28 have been fully vaccinated and the other 4 are close to being fully vaccinated. This is a major accomplishment for the NFL and shows how seriously they are taking the pandemic.

The New England Patriots

The New England Patriots are among a small handful of NFL teams that are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

As of June 10, 2021, the Patriots are one of only four teams in the NFL to have all players and staff members vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the league’s most recent data.

The other three teams that are fully vaccinated are the Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, and Los Angeles Rams.

The Patriots’ vaccination rate is in line with that of other professional sports teams in the Boston area. The Boston Bruins (NHL) and Boston Red Sox (MLB) both report that 100% of their players and staff have been vaccinated.

The vaccination rates for NFL teams vary widely. While the Patriots, Ravens, Seahawks, and Rams are all at 100%, other teams have yet to achieve that level of vaccination.

The Dallas Cowboys , for example, report that only 61% of their players and staff are vaccinated, while the Detroit Lions say that just 50% have been vaccinated.

The Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have become the first NFL team to announce that they have completed the Covid-19 vaccination process. All 90 players and staff members on the team have now been vaccinated against the virus.

This news comes as a surprise as the NFL had previously said that they would not mandate that players get vaccinated. However, it is clear that the league is encourage players to do so. Several other teams, including the New Orleans Saints and the Seattle Seahawks, have also announced that a majority of their players have been vaccinated.

The Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area. The Bills compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays their home games at New Era Field in Orchard Park, New York. The Bills are the only NFL team that plays their home games in the state of New York.

As of May 12, 2021, 22 out of 53 members of the Buffalo Bills have been vaccinated for COVID-19 according to NFL database. This puts them at a 41% vaccination rate, which is higher than the league average but lower than many other teams.

How Does This Compare to Other Leagues?

With the NFL season coming to an end, many teams are either already vaccinated or in the process of getting vaccinated. The Los Angeles Rams, for example, have announced that they have vaccinated 85% of their players and staff. This is a significant increase from the beginning of the season when only 50% of the league was vaccinated.

The NBA

The NBA was the first professional sports league in the United States to require that its players be vaccinated against COVID-19. The league did so in collaboration with the National Basketball Players Association, which represents the interests of NBA players. The NBA vaccinated more than 90 percent of its players by early May, according to The Athletic.

The NHL

The NHL is making strides towards getting players vaccinated, but the process has been a slow one. As of April 28, only 50% of NHL players had been vaccinated, according to The Athletic. That number compares favorably to the NFL, where as of April 16, only 22% of players had been vaccinated, according to the league.

The NHL is lagging behind other professional sports leagues in Canada when it comes to vaccination rates. In the Canadian Football League (CFL), 82% of players have been vaccinated, according to TSN. In Major League Soccer (MLS), 78% of players have been vaccinated.

The NHL has made progress in recent weeks in getting more players vaccinated. On April 18, the league announced that all seven Canadian teams would be fully vaccinated by May 4. That news came after the league said on April 7 that all 30 teams would be fully vaccinated by May 1.

Conclusion

As of June 11th, 2021, all NFL teams are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
