Major League Baseball says it will not cut the line to acquire COVID-19 vaccinations for players.

Instead players will receive the vaccine on the timeline set forth by public health officials.

"Like the NBA, Major League Baseball and its clubs will work with public health authorities on issues related to the availability and timing of vaccinations for players and other employees," MLB said in a statement. "Vaccinations will only be made available to players when public health officials deem it appropriate."
