Team U.S.A. swimmer Michael Andrew, 22, is not going to be vaccinated against COVID-19 ahead of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, he recently explained.

Andrew said he didn’t want to have to be forced to take days off from training if he were to get a reaction to the vaccine. As noted by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — which underscored that the vaccines are safe — fever, chills, nausea, and muscle pain are some of the reported potential side effects from the jab.
