Abstract

Introduction
This infographic outlines considerations for athletes and their teams around vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) virus. There are currently three vaccines approved for use in the United Kingdom (UK); Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna and Oxford/AstraZenica.

It is important for athletes and their physicians to be aware of the potential side effects from any given COVID-19 vaccination, pros and cons of vaccination in a low-risk population, and the logistics of training around vaccination administration. Finally, education surrounding vaccination may help combat vaccine hesitancy in an athletic population.
