The Philadelphia Phillies and other teams around Major League Baseball have been encouraging players and fans to get a COVID-19 vaccine. On June 4, it was announced that two-thirds of MLB teams have reached the 85% threshold.
MLB and its thirty clubs are even incentivizing fans to get vaccinated at the ballpark, offering free tickets and other prizes, in a June initiative called Vaccinate At The Plate.
