Tigers hit vaccination threshold

Clemson’s football team has hit the 85% vaccination threshold.

After telling reporters before the start of fall camp the Tigers were “right there at” that number, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Tuesday the Tigers have exceeded it in terms of the amount of players who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

The team isn’t quite at 100%, Swinney said, but “we’re in a great place staff and player-wise.”

Swinney said a couple of players who have started the vaccination process are scheduled to get their second dose Thursday. ACC teams that meet the threshold won’t be required to regularly test their student-athletes.
