The Olympian vaccination rate of 83% is well above the national average of 48.9%.
An estimated 100 of the 613 athletes representing the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee surveyed all the athletes and 567 responded, with 83% saying they are vaccinated. “Eighty-three percent is actually a substantial number and we’re quite happy with it,” USOPC medical director Jonathan Finnoff said. About 56% of the overall U.S. population is at least partially vaccinated, according to Centers for Disease Control data.
