Jim Irsay: More than 50% of Colts vaccinated; 'it's the right thing to do'

A little more than a week after an Associated Press report surfaced saying the Indianapolis Colts were one of four NFL teams with less than 50% of their team vaccinated against COVID-19, owner Jim Irsay announced Friday the team had surpassed that threshold.

However, while Irsay was happy the Colts were "trending in the right direction," he made it clear that he would prefer that number be much higher and is working to make it so.

“It’s one of those things where logic has it: You get vaccinated. It’s the best choice,” Irsay said during a Zoom news conference Thursday afternoon.
