Rockets have all received COVID-19 vaccine boosters: Stephen Silas – Rockets Wire

The Houston Rockets were among the first NBA teams to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 entering the 2021-22 season, and they are one of the first known teams to have 100% coverage among players for the recommended coronavirus vaccine booster shots.

Beginning Dec. 17, players around the league who have not received a booster dose will be subject to COVID-19 testing on game days, even if they were previously considered fully vaccinated. This would add burdensome logistical requirements and could potentially lead to a player being more likely to miss games, depending on the result.

However, the Rockets will not be subject to these new protocols. The news of the teams players all receiving the booster was first reported by Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle and confirmed by head coach Stephen Silas at Mondays game day shootaround in Atlanta.

Everybodys done, Silas said on Monday, Dec. 13, as relayed by Feigen. Its good. Theres all these cases (and) were definitely conscious of whats going on around the league, for sure.

The Chicago Bulls have had their next two games postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak among Tier 1 players and staffers.
