The president of the International Olympics Committee (IOC) said Monday that the organization will undertake “great efforts” to ensure that both fans and participants in the Summer Games in Japan next year are vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

IOC President Thomas Bach told reporters in a press conference that there would be a strong push for people attending next year’s postponed Tokyo Games to get the vaccine, if available, although he did not say it would be mandatory.
