Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 3120556, member: 1978"] I don't think anyone will be stood down. They will just sign the waiver which says they have been told of the risks of not having the flu vax. Despite pressure to adopt a “no jab, no play” policy, the ARL Commission has revised a vaccination waiver clause to allow [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/sport/nrl']NRL[/URL] players to play if they refuse to get a flu shot. However, ARLC chairman Peter V’landys has warned players who do not sign the altered waiver will be banned. Overall 3% of NRL players refused a flu shot that formed part of strict biosecurity measures that will allow the league’s resumption on 28 May. “A clause has been taken out. It used to say they believe by not having it [vaccination] that would put them medically at risk – well they don’t believe that,” V’landys told AAP. “So we have changed that to say that they have been advised by their medical officer that they are at risk. It should’ve been like that in the first place to be honest. So if any player doesn’t execute the waiver they will not be able to play.” [/QUOTE]
