Researchers say that prominent people getting the COVID-19 vaccine while urging others to get inoculated could help overcome widespread skepticism.

However, while many influential persons like athletes are getting vaccinated, in the same breath, they are adamant that taking the vaccine should be a personal decision and should not ever be made mandatory to compete.

Many persons believe that the vaccine could be made mandatory to visit certain countries, to compete in certain disciplines, attend learning institutions, or even as a prerequisite to get certain jobs.
