The wheels are in motion for New Zealand Football to mandate vaccinations for players representing national sides

The governing body is undertaking a consultation process with football and operations staff, as well as players, and expect to have a formal policy in place by December.

It's an issue that has come to the boil over the last week, since All Whites' coach Danny Hay confirmed two players will miss the next window due to not having had the jab.

NZF boss Andrew Pragnell says this is the way the world is.



And North Harbour Rugby has passed a resolution in principle to have a mandatory vaccination policy.
