MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - German champions Bayern Munich support the vaccination of its players to protect against COVID-19 but it is not mandatory, the club said amid a furore caused by player Joshua Kimmich's announcement he was not vaccinated.
The Germany international had said on Saturday he was not vaccinated because of concerns he had over long-term effects of the vaccine. He said he might do it in the future.
The German Football League on Tuesday said more than 90% of players and staff in the top two German divisions had been vaccinated. "Bayern supports vaccination actions in a sustainable way," said Bayern president Herbert Hainer."But at the end of the day there is no vaccination obligation with us. It is an individual decision.
