IOC seeks Covid vaccines for athletes in second wave so Olympics can go ahead
The International Olympic Committee is working on ways to get athletes the coronavirus jab in the second or third wave so that the Tokyo Games can go ahead safely in July, the Guardian has been told.
While insisting that we "do not want to queue jump", IOC sources are hoping athletes from around the globe will be high up on the vaccination list, once key workers and the vulnerable are given the jab.
