Latest COVID Report From MLB, MLBPA

By TC Zencka | May 29, 2021 at 10:28am CDT

More than half of Major League teams have now passed the 85% threshold for vaccinated individuals, per the latest COVID report released jointly by MLB and the MLBPA. Of the league’s 30 teams, 16 now have more than 85% of their Tier 1 individuals vaccinated. Once an organization has 85% of their Tier 1 employees vaccinated, the team is deemed to be less at risk and certain health and safety protocols are relaxed.

While 16 clubs have reached that marker already, an additional three clubs have reached the threshold for individuals receiving the second dose of the vaccine. Those clubs will have their protocols relaxed within the next couple of weeks.

Taking the entire league as a whole, MLB reports that 84.5% of Tier 1 individuals league-wide have been at least partially vaccinated. This, of course, is critical for league safety as many teams ready to open their stadiums to full capacity in the coming weeks and months.

As far as testing results are concerned, there have been 62 total positive tests thus far our of 176,260 total tests conducted for a positive rate of 0.035%. There were three positive tests this week: one Major League player, one Triple-A player, and one staff member. For the season, 23 teams have had at least one positive test. The league and players’ association will continue to release updates on the progress of COVID-19 testing and vaccinations throughout the season.

    And I want to say that it was totally lame of the Cubs mouthpiece basically publicly shaming his employees because they are not at the full vaccination rate. I don’t really know why they aren’t but it’s not his place to say that. That’s the kind of boss you don’t want to work for right there.

      It’s definitely not the right way to convince someone to do something they don’t/haven’t yet. Then you have other bosses on the other end of the spectrum who won’t allow vaccinated employees back. The whole world has gone bonkers.

    A much lower rate of intelligent posters in this thread on both sides of the aisle than vaccinated players in baseball.

    So I’d say MLB is doing a pretty good job.

    Maybe they should offer it with HGH and more players will get it.

      I’ll be sure to pass that along to my friend’s daughter who was completely healthy, got the vaccine, a week later got Covid, and still hasn’t been released from the hospital. What odds to you lay that the MSM will allow her to tell her story — if she lives?

      it is not that safe; and, no one knows what it does to you in 10 years. the government tells you it is safe, you know, the one that told you not to wear masks for an airborne virus until they had enough stock to protect their pack? almost 6 weeks after my 2nd moderna and i am still feeling things…, but i’m 60 so it doesn’t matter. it alters your RNA but not your DNA, …, for now…

    As most states are opening 100% and going mask free this whole topic will just go away as well unless mlb will bully teams/players to vaccinate even after all states are open and mask free

      I don’t understand your point Bergeraj. If all states open and are mask-free, you better hope vaccinations continue to ramp upwards ASAP or this pandemic will never end.

          Let me guess you think there are micro chips in the vaccine?

      Your point makes no sense. So opening up and going massless is the answer. The answer is getting the vaccine percentage up. And not just the USA but the world.
