Head coach Lane Kiffin says the Ole Miss football program has reached 100% COVID-19 vaccination rate.
Kiffin says all players, coaches and staff are now fully vaccinated.
Here are more details from ESPN:
Kiffin said there is a 100% vaccination rate among those players, coaches, staff members and everybody within the program who will be on the practice field Sunday. It’s been a huge push by everybody within the Ole Miss athletic program in a state — Mississippi — that ranked last a week ago in percentage of residents receiving at least one vaccination dose (41.6%), according to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In particular, Kiffin urged his assistant coaches in each position room to hold themselves and their players responsible to get vaccinated.
“It’s pretty amazing and great motivation for our fans and the state,” Kiffin told ESPN.
