Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: Refusing COVID-19 vaccine is like drink-driving

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp likened refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine to drink-driving, saying such people endanger others.

Klopp said he took the vaccine to protect not just himself but "all the people around me." The 54-year-old also said that "99%" of his Liverpool players are vaccinated and that he did not have to convince anyone to do so.
