Weah is not considered fully vaccinated in Canada despite being vaccinated
Jan 29, 2022
U.S. men's national team coach Gregg Berhalter confirmed Saturday that forward Tim Weah did not travel with the team to Canada for Sunday's World Cup qualifying match because the country does not consider Weah to be fully vaccinated. Weah received his first shot before testing positive for COVID-19, which delayed him from receiving his second shot, Berhalter said. In France, where Weah plays professionally for Ligue 1's Lille, getting the vaccination and having protection from getting COVID-19 is considered full vaccination status. However, according to Berhalter, the fully vaccinated status in France is not the same as in Canada, something U.S. Soccer learned about only two days prior.
"This was a nuanced technicality that we were hoping would get pushed through and unfortunately it didn't," Berhalter said on Saturday. Instead of getting ready to play Sunday, Weah traveled to Minnesota early to prepare for the USMNT's following match against Honduras on Feb. 2 at Allianz Field.Weah made his qualifying debut in October as a late addition to the starting lineup in a home game against Costa Rica. He created the own goal that lifted the United States to a come-from-behind 2–1 win against Costa Rica.
