With all adults now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, the Flyers are launching a campaign to encourage fans to get vaccinated. The team launched a PSA on Tuesday featuring coaches, players, announcers, and physician Ala Stanford, founder of the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium. On Thursday, the Flyers donated $10,000 to the consortium which will use the money to support ongoing efforts to vaccinate homebound individuals. The Flyers are the first Philadelphia sports team to launch a vaccination campaign.
