The Premier League has confirmed that 68% of players have now been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, with only 19% yet to receive their first dose.
The uptake of the vaccine among professional footballers has been debated at length, with several England internationals opting not to discuss their status earlier this month.
Republic of Ireland international Callum Robinson revealed earlier this month that he has not taken the Covid-19 vaccine.
Robinson plays in the second tier of English football in the Championship with West Brom.
The new figures from the Premier League confirm the sport is still below the national average in Britain, with latest government statistics showing that 78.9% of over 12s have now been fully vaccinated.
"The Premier League can confirm today that 81% of players have received at least one Covid-19 vaccination dose, with 68% now fully vaccinated," a statement read.
"Vaccination rates are collected by the Premier League on a weekly basis and the League continues to work with clubs to encourage vaccination among players and club staff.
"No specific details as to clubs or individuals will be provided by the league and player vaccination rates will be communicated at appropriate intervals in the future."
