If a coronavirus vaccination hits the market in the near future, Novak Djokovic might not be the first in line to receive it. The Serbian tennis player admitted that he isn’t in support of obtaining a COVID-19 vaccine if one were created.
“Personally, I am opposed to vaccination and I wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel,” Djokovic, 32, shared in a Facebook live chat with other Serbian athletes on Sunday, April 19. “But if it becomes compulsory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision.” The athlete, who shares son Stefan, 5, and daughter Tara, 2, with wife Jelena Djokovic, continued, “I have my own thoughts about the matter, and whether those thoughts will change at some point, I don’t know. Hypothetically, if the season was to resume in July, August or September, though unlikely, I understand that a vaccine will become a requirement straight after we are out of strict quarantine, and there is no vaccine yet.”
