UPDATE 6-Olympics-No queue-jumping says IOC chief, as nations mull vaccines for athletes

Rohith Nair, Arvind Sriram (Recasts with IOC president Thomas Bach quotes) Jan 27 (Reuters) - The International Olympic Committee is not in favour of athletes “jumping the queue” for COVID-19 vaccines, President Thomas Bach said on Wednesday, after some National Olympic Committees (NOCs) revealed plans to inoculate athletes before the Tokyo Games. Bach added that it was up to NOCs to coordinate with their respective governments over athlete access to vaccines. Israel’s Olympic Committee told Reuters earlier on Wednesday that it had already inoculated half its Olympic delegation and would complete the process by the end of May. The country currently leads the world on per capita vaccinations, having inoculated about 30% of its population of 9 million with at least one dose.
