The governing body of high school athletics in Pennsylvania is recommending that everyone involved in sports get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association stopped short of mandating vaccines for coaches and student-athletes, but issued a statement yesterday advocating for their participants to take the shot.
However, referees that work inter-district playoff games will have to be vaccinated. The PIAA says they made the move after consulting with the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee.
