After Union Ministry for Youth Affairs and Sports had requested the Health Ministry to put Tokyo Olympic-bound athletes on priority for the covid-19 vaccine, Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra feels it would be good if the athletes are able to get the Covid-19 vaccine before the event.

Chopra told Media that if athletes get the corona vaccine before the Olympics, he think it is a good thought. They must be aware of everything, if every athlete gets the jab before the Olympics, then it would be good. 

Earlier this week, Union Ministry for Youth Affairs and Sports had requested the Health Ministry to put Tokyo Olympic-bound athletes on priority for the coronavirus vaccine. Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju had said that Olympic-bound athletes will be given priority. 

Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president Narinder Batra also  had said that vaccination of Olympic-bound athletes is their topmost priority. When talking about his preparation for the Olympics, Chopra said: "The experience has been good, it was the first time that our camp was organised in Bhubaneshwar, the facilities were quite good. Whatever we needed for preparing for Olympics, it was given to us and we were helped at every possible stage."
